The Experts Say... Day 7

"The Aspire team that played today look ready to take up on any challenge and play their best game against any team in the tournament. Therefore, Aspire Academy has got a shot at claiming the title. Not many people know about Altinordu FK but if you read about them, they are solely focused on the development of young players, and by 2020, Altinordu FK’s president wants the whole of the first team to be filed with homegrown talent. That is a breath of fresh air and is truly a wonderful approach!"

"I would say Rangers’ performance today was the best performance in this tournament so far. They have shown they can play quality football, be aggressive, create chances and I feel there is more to come from them. They want to play against the strongest teams in this tournament and the players have amazing confidence and a strong winning spirit. We have had a couple of games with big scores over the years but today Rangers distinguished themselves as two of their players scored hat-tricks. Steven Gerrard, the Rangers first-team manager, will probably be keen to have an
eye on these boys after that performance."
