“Asamoah Gyan is the player who makes the difference for Al Ain. He scored two goals in the last match and is an influential player,” he said.

“We will try with our collective organisation to stop him because he can win the match for his squad at any given moment.”

Al Ain could qualify to the knockout stage of the Champions League of they manage the tough away win.
