Pohang Steelers eyeing home win over Newcastle Jets

Pohang Steelers coach Sergio Farias is eyeing a home win for his side in tomorrow night's Asian Champions League knockout clash with Newcastle Jets.

The Korean outfit will host the A-League club at their Steelyard after finishing on top of Group E and Farias expects qualification for the quarter-finals despite the Jets counter-attacking style.

"We are a team that always wins. We have won the K-League and the FA Cup and now it's time we try to be number one in Asia," Farias said.

"Newcastle have skilful players with a lot of experience. They play compact football, are good on the counter-attack and will put pressure on us in midfield. We're working hard in training and trying to find the best way to play them."
