Saudi's Hilal soccer team promised its fans to appear in a new shape in Thursday’s semifinal match - of Asian Champions League - against their south Koreans opponents, Samsung, at King Fahd International Stadium. 

"Our supporters will see us in a new style," Hilal's technical manager Jordanisko told the AFP, adding that "we will not give up the cup," pointing out that “playing on our field and before our fans is an advantage to our benefit” "We need their support,” he said of the fans, adding he is ”sure King Fahd's Stadium will be packed with our supporters,"  

The manager told Riyad daily newspaper Wednesday Hilal will do its best to make up for their disqualification earlier from King Fahd’s Cup. 

He said he counted on Hilal’s superstars: scorer Sami Al-Jabir, and the playmakers Youssef Thanian, Khamis Eweiran in addition to Abdullah Jama'an – Albawaba.com
