Saitama: Ramon Diaz says Al Hilal have no intention of changing their attacking style ahead of the second leg of the AFC Champions League final with Urawa Red Diamonds at Saitama Stadium on Saturday.
The Riyadh club dominated the first leg on home soil but, after falling behind in the first 10 minutes, could only manage a 1-1 draw as Omar Khribin levelled the scores before the interval, but was also denied on several occasions by Urawa goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa.
Diaz's side, though, created numerous chances as they continually got behind the Urawa backline and, unbeaten in the tournament so far, have travelled to Japan full of belief that they can win the competition for the first time.
"We played with style in the first leg by keeping possession of the ball, pressing our opponents and playing offensively. We created many chances but couldn't take them," said Diaz.
"I don't think we'll change our style in the second game. We want the ball and to be able to take the initiative and we'll try to score so we can win the game.
"We have very good and talented players who can penetrate any defence, no matter how strong they are. We are here, we are ready and we are confident we can win."
