TP Mazembe's defence is being targeted by Pohang Steelers

Asia's Pohang Steelers are targeting African champions TP Mazembe's "disorganised" defence when they meet in the Club World Cup on Friday.

The South Koreans play the Congolese side in their opening match of the tournament in the UAE.

Steelers coach Sergio Farias said Mazembe were vulnerable at the back and he was planning to exploit that.

"We have to take advantage of their tactical disorganisation," Farias said on the eve of the game.

"We have studied their strong points and their weak points and we see weak points in their defence which we are going to have to make the most of tomorrow."

But he warned against complacency from his players.

"We must be on our guard because of their speed but all teams that attack suffer from gaps in defence for a counter-attack," he said.

"This is the kind of competition where you have to keep your concentration all the time."
