Al Wasl is drawn in Group A alongside Iraqi champion Al Zawraa, Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr and Iran’s Zob Ahan. The tenacious midfielder ran the rule over his side’s three opponents.
“Zob Ahan will be strong rival for us. It’s a well-known team in the competition because Zob Ahan always participates in the ACL and makes it to the knock-out stages,” Salmin said in an interview with the-afc.com.
“Al Nassr is a big team. Facing the team will probably be the most difficult in the group,” said Salmin about his team’s Matchday One opponents.
“Both teams know each other very well, and it is good that we will start at home against them.
“Al Zawraa is perhaps the team we know least about. But looking at the progress Iraqi football has made in recent years, it suggests we will face a strong side and need to be up to the challenge,” the midfielder added.
