Saitama: Wataru Endo admitted that AFC Player of the Year nominee Omar Khribin would be the man to watch when Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds face Saudi giants Al Hilal in the 2017 AFC Champions League final second leg at Saitama Stadium on Saturday.
The Syria international was in the thick of the action a week ago at the King Fahd International Stadium and levelled the scores for Al Hilal after Urawa striker Rafael Silva had given the visitors an early lead.
“I think he is a really good player physically, especially the way he uses his body is exceptional,” said Endo, who lined up on the right side of Urawa’s defence in Riyadh.
“It’s important to adjust to the ways he play when you face him.
“I have seen him before with the national team and have studied him.”
