AUCKLAND – Coach Chris Milicich senses a growing belief among his players as Waitakere United eye Friday night’s FIFA Club World Cup playoff
against Iranian champions Sepahan.

Waitakere are overwhelming underdogs for the match at Tokyo’s National Stadium which will determine which side faces Japanese powerhouse Urawa Red
Diamonds in Monday’s quarterfinal.

But the Oceania champions were in a bullish mood following their second training session on Tuesday with Milicich promising Waitakere had no
interest in a damage limitation mission against the Asian champions league silver medalists.

“If we set out to defend and concede two or three goals people will say it’s a good result, but is it really?” Milicich said ahead of Friday’s match
to be screened live on Sky Sport 1 from 11.30pm on Friday.
