Al-Hilal coach Laurentiu Reghecampf dismissed Western Sydney Wanderers as minnows of Asian football after promising fans he will win the Asian Champions League title at the expense of "a small team" of continental football.

During a pre-match press conference where Wanderers coach Tony Popovic reiterated his respect for the Saudi giants, Reghecampf showed almost no regard for his counterpart despite trailing 1-0 in the tie.

Not satisfied with stating his confidence, Reghecampf frequently promised fans Al-Hilal will win the title. In a move that is sure to fire-up the Australian club ahead of Saturday night's decider, Reghecampf offered little respect towards the Wanderers credentials.

If there was such thing as a rock star reception in Saudi Arabia, Reghecampf might just have received that as he left the pre-match press conference with a standing ovation and raucous applause from local journalists and supporters after promising to deliver the Asian club title.
