Persipura Jayapura coach Jacksen Tiago admits that his side will have a tough time in trying to reach the knockout stages of the Asian Champions League, but is confident of causing an upset or two.
Speaking to the Jakarta Globe, Tiago said, "Our (ACL) opponents are at a higher level than us."
"That’s the reality. I’m not pessimistic.
"I’m just trying to be realistic. But again, this is football, which is dynamic and full of surprises.
"I think it will be very good if we could qualify from the group.”
Tiago also commented on his side's domestic chances, continuing, "It will be hard to chase Arema, but we’re not losing hope."
"I don’t want to brag about our chances to defend the title, but this is football, so I believe we still have a big chance. I think we’ve fixed our problems in the back and up front.
"The fans will see a different team, a better one.”
