Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Former AFC Player of the Year Server Djeparov considers his club Bunyodkor as serious contenders for the 2010 AFC Champions League crown.
The Uzbek international, who has taken part in all the AFC Champions League editions since 2002-03, said his side would be prepared to take on the might of 2009 AFC Champions League runners-up and two-time champions Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittihad.
“We are pleased with our group opponents. I think Al Ittihad would be the strongest in the group but we will train well in order to get positive results against them,” he told www.the-afc.com.
Luiz Felipe Scolari’s charges were placed in Group B alongside Iran’s Zob Ahan, Al Ittihad and the West play-off winners.
"We cannot underestimate Zob Ahan as Iranian teams are traditionally very strong,” he said.
"We will know our third opponent only after the play-off is over but we must respect all rivals and give our 100 per cent on the field.”
