Al Ain coach Vladimir Ivic said his boys were ready for Italian giants Juventus as they open their campaign in the Group G of the Club World Cup on Thursday.

“The most important thing is to deal with this challenge as professionals,” said Ivic. “We have to everything right each day all through our preparations, and not only during our matches,” he added.

After their opening match against the Serie A giants Juventus, Al Ain will next travel to Atlanta to play eight-time Premier League winners Manchester City, before concluding their group stage fixtures against Wydad from Morocco in Washington, D.C. on June 26.
