"The Asian Champions League is the biggest tournament in Asia," the 2002 World Cup winner told a press conference in the Uzbek capital.

"I won the UEFA Champions League several years ago. And now I want another Champions league success. I aim to help my Bunyodkor team-mates as much as possible through my experience."
