SYDNEY (Reuters) - Former Japan playmaker Shinji Ono believes Western Sydney Wanderers have the mental strength to become the first Australian club to win the Asian Champions League, even if they will have to do it without him.

The 34-year-old signed off after two years with the Sydney start-up club by helping them into the last eight of the ACL on Wednesday, setting up both goals as they beat Sanfrecce Hiroshima 2-0 to overhaul a 3-1 first leg deficit.
