MELBOURNE, Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- Shanghai SIPG will need to play its best football in order to beat reigning Australian champion Melbourne Victory in their opening AFC Champions League (ACL) clash, coach Sven-Goran Eriksson has said on Tuesday.


Eriksson told the press his Chinese Super League (CSL) side will face a tough, physical challenge on Wednesday evening James Harden Rockets Jersey , from a Victory team led by notorious hard-man Kevin Muscat.


However the Swedish mastermind said marquee players such as Dario Conca - who have ACL experience - will be vital in kicking off the competition with a win.


""We have some players who have already played Champions League in Asia, but there are many who haven't,"" the former England national team coach said on Tuesday.


""I am quite sure we will play good football but whether or not it will be enough to beat (Melbourne) I'm not sure. We know it is a difficult group and we have a lot of respect for them.""


Eriksson said, since arriving in Melbourne on Sunday, his side has been attempting to train more aggressively in order to match the Australian style of football.


""Victory is a very aggressive team Chris Paul Rockets Jersey , they will put pressure on us all over the pitch, they are good in close contact and they have some very good players,"" Eriksson said.


""They won the league last year of course. We know (the style of play) is going to be different. It's going to be a different style to Chinese football, that's for sure.""


The Swede noted the ""disadvantage"" his team has due to Victory having played league football for months (the A-League season begins in October), but said there would be ""no excuse"" for his side not to play competitive football on Wednesday.


Meanwhile star midfielder Dario Conca said he had talked to teammates about his experience winning the ACL with Guangzhou Evergrande in 2013 Ryan Anderson Kids Jersey , and said any information about playing in Australia would help SIPG start the 2016 tournament well.


""We have a lot of young player but a lot of them are from national teams, they're good,"" Conca said
