GUANGZHOU Laurent Koscielny France Jersey , Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has called on Guangzhou Evergrande to fully utilize home advantage in Wednesday's AFC Champions League semifinal first leg against fellow former champions Gamba Osaka at Tianhe Sport Center to ensure the Chinese champions go into the return fixture in Japan in three weeks' time on the front foot.
