Zob Ahan hold the upper hand in the semi-final tie thanks to Ghassem Haddadifar’s goal in the first-leg but despite enjoying that victory two weeks ago in Esfahan, Ebrahimzadeh (pictured) knows their passage to Tokyo is anything but assured.
"Al Hilal have good defensive and attacking players but hopefully we can beat them,” he said.
“The match is important for us whether it was against Al Hilal or any other team because if we don't beat them, we will not advance to the final."
"Our aim is to advance to the final and we will give our best in the game against Al Hilal. We have prepared well and we are not worried about playing in front of big crowds.”
Zob Ahan’s run to the last four may have been unexpected given they were drawn in a group that also featured Bunyodkor and last season’s finalists Al Ittihad, but Ebrahimzadeh pointed to their good home form as the reason they are just 90 minutes away from the final of the continental competition.
"When the tournament started our aim was to continue (as far as possible) in the competition," he added.
"We gave good performances in all our games and now at this stage, our aim is to advance to the final.
"Our strategy was to ensure wins in the matches that we played at home. In all the matches we have played we have had successful results, especially at home."
Ebrahimzadeh believes his players can also call on the experience of the 2-2 draw with Al Ittihad in Jeddah earlier in the year to help them overcome Al Hilal.
“We previously played against Al Ittihad in the group stage. We can be better and we will have a good plan for the game. Each team will try to win the game and we will try our best to win," he concluded.
Zob Ahan midfielder Mohamad Salsali underlined the Iranians will have to be at their best to nullify Al Hilal and stressed the importance of an away goal.
"We must produce a good performance on Wednesday and we should have a good plan to beat Al Hilal’s defence," he said.
"I guess that we can use our good tactics and the attacking players will be ready for the game. It is really important to score if we want to win the game and advance to the final."
Hilal will rise to occasion insists Gerets
Al Hilal coach Eric Gerets called on his players to rise to the occasion when they look to overcome a 1-0 deficit to Zob Ahan at King Fahad International Stadium on Wednesday and reach the final of the AFC Champions League.
Al Hilal trail to Ghasem Hadadifar’s second-half goal from the first-leg of the semi-final tie but are boosted by the news Yasser Al Qahtani will be fit for the return encounter after the influential striker picked up a knock in Esfahan and had to be substituted.
Midfielder Abdulatif Al Ghanam is also available and Gerets hopes his players force the pace of the game from the opening kick-off in order to score the two goals they need to progress.
"I hope that the players will show what we will ask them for,” said the Belgian (pictured).
"We will have an attacking plan in the game and hopefully we can perform our plan well as Zob Ahan can make things harder for us if they score.
"Zob Ahan missed a lot of chances in the first-leg and I hope that they will play with an attacking formation as this will give us a lot of scoring chances as well.
"I'm not worried about the match because we are here and we are competing to win the title. I previously visited Japan once and I want to visit it again with Al Hilal.”
The 56-year-old also hopes a full house will help to spur his side on against their Iranian opponents.
"Al Hilal have a big fan base and I'm looking forward to see many fans attending the game on Wednesday," added the Gerets.
"I would like to see a full crowd for the game as this will motivate us more.
Al Hilal captain Osama Hawsawi insisted the team were fully focused on the task of scoring the goals they need to book their place in next month’s showpiece encounter in Tokyo.
"Zob Ahan are using a well-known way to distract our attention but our answer will be on the pitch,” he said.
“Hopefully we can enjoy a big win in order to qualify for the final of the competition and carry on with our dream."
