“We need a really solid defence, we also need a strong offensive, this is always important in such a match,” he said. “We’re now in the semi-finals in the AFC Champions League Elite and that means every opponent is really strong.

“We need to bring all our weapons on the pitch. We need to deliver at our best level and then the chance is there to reach the final.”

Defender Ali Majrashi is suspended for the match as a result of his red card against the Malaysian champions but, while Jaissle would not be drawn on his plans for a replacement, the German believes his team can draw on their previous experience in the competition.

“Last year it was definitely also really tough and there were tight matches as well,” he said. “This year is the same.

“In a competition like the AFC Champions League Elite that’s always the case, it’s never going to be easy. I think we had some difficulties not only in the game but around the game with injuries and so on. This is something special this season.

“Last year we were complete. We had players who were only registered for this competition but we will go all the way with full confidence and we want to go for the title again.”

A huge crowd is expected at the King Abdullah Sports City Hall Stadium as Al Ahli attempt to qualify for their second AFC Champions League Elite final in a row but Vissel Kobe coach Michael Skibbe is confident his players will not be overawed by the occasion.

“We are playing against a very, very strong opponent,” said the former Borussia Dortmund coach. “As we all know, Al Ahli is one of the strongest teams in Asia. It will be very nice to play against them.

“It will be very crowded in the stadium. It’s a big stadium but we are very well prepared for the match tomorrow and we’d like to show our best Vissel Kobe performance tomorrow.

“It will be very nice to have an audience like this. This is why we are playing football, to have such nice experiences like we will have tomorrow evening, fantastic fans with their team.

“But my team knows how it is with a lot of fans in the stadium and because of this we will be motivated very well and it will be a very nice atmosphere.

“Everybody’s ready to play, everybody is motivated and because of this I think we will have a very strong Vissel team tomorrow evening.”
