Nagaki: Kashima fans need to play their part for ACL turnaround

Ibaraki: Kashima Antlers will go into their 2017 AFC Champions League Round of 16 second-leg tie on Tuesday a goal down to two-time AFC Champions League winners Guangzhou Evergrande but, according to midfielder Ryota Nagaki (pictured left), the deficit can be overcome with the support of the home fans at Kashima Stadium.

Nagaki, who turns 29 at the beginning of June, has started all but one of Kashima’s AFC Champions League ties so far - in his second continental campaign - and appeared as a scoring substitute against Brisbane Roar on Matchday Four.
