DOHA: Al Ahli coach Yusuf Adam on Saturday said he is expecting a spirited performance against football giants El Jaish when they two meet in the Emir Cup quarter-finals on Sunday. "Everyone understands the importance of playing well in any Emir Cup clash. It is a huge event with high stakes. Any two teams develop a kind of rivalry when they go into an Emir Cup clash," Adam said on Saturday. "The teams are prepared to give their best and I have seen my side play with great positive spirit," Adam added. "The players showed great commitment in the last few games of the league also. So we are up against one of the best sides in Qatar and we consider this a challenge," the coach said. "This will clearly be the biggest challenge for us. El Jaish are a great organised team," he said. "They are strong in attack and with a great deal of stability in the middle. We are focused on the game at hand. "I know my players want to go as far as possible in this tournament," Adam said. "There are no weak sides in Emir Cup. I believe my team is working to play as a unit. In the last two months, we have proved that we can play good at any level, against any side," Adam said. "If we win, I won't be surprised as we are a good side," he said. When asked about a new contract with Al Ahli, Adam said: "We have not signed a new contract. I will talk with the management once we are done with this season. Right now we are looking at our next game." El Jaish coach Sabri Lamouchi said his players were 'excited' to have reached the quarter-finals stage. "We will be playing a tough side in Al Ahli. They are considered one of the best sides in the country," Lamouchi said on Saturday. "They have got good results and we face a strong side," he said. "But in my camp, there is genuine excitement. We are happy to be playing the quarter-finals tomorrow (Sunday). There is pressure but we feel we are ready," the coach said. "I congratulate Yusuf Adam on a good season. They offer a good fight.
