Nagoya Grampus know what they have to do in the second leg of their
Asian Champions League semi-final against Al Ittihad – attack.
The Japanese club are 6-2 down after a disastrous last quarter in the first leg in Jeddah when they conceded four late goals.
Losing defender Akira Takeuchi after just seven minutes cost the J-League club dearly.
Now, their task against the in-form Saudi Arabians is tough as it gets.
“It is very hard,” Stojkovic said according to the-afc.com.
“We are four goals down, which is an advantage for Al Ittihad, but we have to do our best to make a better impression than the last game.
“It was a bad game for us but from my point of view, I think only of my team and I believe in them and the style of football we play.
“When a team is four goals down it is stupid to play defensively. We don't have a choice, we have to be offensive and take a risk but football is about taking risks.
“We need to score so we will play offensively. I will play with more offensive players as much as I can but we still need to be careful and defend our own goal.
“Anything is possible and we have to believe right to the end.”
