Pedro Costa: I still don't know if it was real or just a dream

Nagoya: It’s been nearly a year since Nagoya Oceans goalkeeper Yushi Sekiguchi saved NAFIT Al Wasat’s Saif Abdulmalek's spot-kick to give the Japanese club their record third AFC Futsal Club Championship, but for 39-year-old Pedro Costa, the moment still hasn’t truly sunk in.

“I still don’t know if it was real or just a dream,” admitted Nagoya’s Portuguese coach, ahead of the 2017 edition which begins on Thursday.

“In my first competition as a coach, I was able to win the biggest club title in Asia and become the youngest head coach to lead a side to this championship.”
