Japan's Urawa Reds have a near-full strength side for Wednesday's deciding leg of their AFC Asian Champions League final with Iran's Sepahan. Captain Nobuhisa Yamada may be missing through injury, but defender Marcus Tulio Tanaka will definitely play in in Saitama having missed the first leg. Reds coach Holger Osieck is eager to reward the club's fans with victory and a major trophy. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Football here is not just a game. It's not just entertainment. It has become a social factor and that is very impressive. And therefore, I think, if we do it tomorrow, then the entire region will get a tremendous boost and it will carry on." SUPER CAPTION: Holger Osieck, Urawa Reds coach. The Iranian opposition will be underdogs having only managed a 1-1 draw at home last week - and their problems mounted this week with Moharram Navidkia and first leg goalscorer Mahmoud Karimi both fighting to be fit for the season climax.
