haslinda: and when it comes to asia investors, europe versus the u.s., how attractive is asia lookingrrine: well, i think that asia speaks for 57% of world gdp growth. but today, only represents around 10% of private capital fund raising by net asset value. so, i think there is a tremendous room for growth, because private markets is about growth, it is about the growth aspects of equity. so, i do think there has been a bit of a mixed, a diverse region as well, but because some of the challenges that have been, coming out of china, and around 50% of private equity markets in asia, so it has looked a little bit more muted, but as you see some of the policy is commonplace, i think there are other markets within asia that look interesting. haslinda: like japan. kerrine: like japan, for sure. we like japan. so we think that the -- there's been solid growth in japan for sure. you actually can see that japan's slowly emerging out of those lost decades of deflation. haslinda: finally a reversal in fortunes for japan, perhaps. kerrine koh of hamilton lane. the u.s. and its allies offer a truc

take asia , take al-hilali, there are many teams in asia he has gained strength and i believe that we have a tough game. we have a team that has a very good structure and hits you from the left and hits very well. sohail, who also came to the al-shabaab al-ahli team , is a left player against sepahan. those who hit you hit one of their goals , mozad, they are very good players in their offensive line, yahya nader, who is one of their most influential players, along with al-hamad ba. in the defensive structure, the left and right defenders will be added very well, but i believe that the national team of the islamic republic of iran will field a more prepared team in the second game of mr. qalenavi. fereste will put a different composition. if we can do a good job on our passing , we have that ability, especially where sardar azmoun has a very good knowledge of these games he played in the emirates. we have been more victorious in the years that we have played against the emirates, and you can be sure that in tomorrow's games we will have a more consistent game than our first game, and
