The 2021 season of ACL will see a record 40 teams taking part which means only the group winners and three best 2nd placed from each region will advance to the round of 16.

Al Sadd is one of the best teams of Qatar and even in Asia. With Xavi ex-Barcelona player as a coach they opened a new cycle and starting to win some titles like the Qatari Cup. This season they are dominating the league Qatar Stars League, after 22 games collected 60 points with 19 wins, 3 draws and 0 losts.

Coach Xavi made a lot of changes in the last games but despite that they win easily 3-0.

"We need to get points from the very beginning. We need to win and not get a draw. We are Al Sadd, we are a winning team and this is our mentality from the beginning. We have to show our best level and attack, this is my philosophy" said Xavi.

Al Sadd have many foreign stars in the team like spanish Santi Cazorla, south korean Nam, best asian player Bounedjah and many others.

Foolad in other hand is just an average team from Iran. They managed to qualify after beating surprisly Al Ain in the playoffs 4 days ago.

Foolad last time in ACL was in 2015 where they didn't managed to pass the group stage.

Some things changed with the spanish coach Noble. In Iran Pro League they are ranked 7th after 18 games.

Coach Noble said "There is no pressure on us. Our players know their job very well and are disciplined. I think the pressure is on the team that has more to lose."

Also Foolad didn't had much time to know the opponents of this group since they played 4 days ago.

I think Al Sadd have more qualities and are experienced in this level. They should win this game for a strong start.

GL!

2021年亚冠赛季将有创纪录的40支队伍参加，这意味着只有小组冠军和每个小组三支排名第二的队伍才能进入16强。

阿尔萨德是卡塔尔乃至亚洲最好的球队之一。在前巴塞罗那球员哈维的带领下，他们开启了一个新的周期，并开始赢得一些冠军，比如卡塔尔杯。本赛季他们在卡塔尔明星联赛中占据统治地位，在22场比赛中得到60分，19胜3平0负。

教练哈维在上一场比赛中做了很多改变，尽管他们以3-0轻松获胜。

“我们需要从一开始就拿到积分。我们需要赢，而不是平局。我们是阿尔萨德，我们是一支胜利的队伍，这就是我们从一开始的心态。我们必须展示我们最好的水平和进攻，这是我的哲学”哈维说。

阿尔萨德有很多外国球星，比如西班牙的桑蒂·卡佐拉，韩国的南，亚洲最好的球员布内杰等。

另一方面，愚蠢的是来自伊朗的一支普通球队。在4天前的季后赛中，他们出人意料地击败了阿尔艾因队，获得了预选赛的资格。

上次的亚冠比赛是在2015年，他们没能通过小组赛。

西班牙教练诺布尔改变了一些事情。在伊朗职业联赛中，他们在18场比赛后排名第七。

诺布尔教练说:“我们没有压力。我们的球员很清楚自己的工作，也很有纪律。我认为压力是在球队身上的，因为他们会失去更多。”

而且愚德也没有太多时间去了解这个小组的对手，因为他们在4天前打了比赛。

我认为Al Sadd有更多的素质和经验在这个水平。他们应该会赢得这场比赛，因为他们开局不错。
