Tasnim – TEHRAN, El Jaish football coach Sabri Lamouchi believes that they will face a strong team in the AFC Champions League play-offs.

The Qatari club will meet Naft in Tehran’s Azadi Stadium on Tuesday.

The winner of the match will join Uzbek champion Pakhtakor, Saudi club Al Shabab and Al Ain of the United Arab Emirates in Group B of the AFC champions league.

“We know we will meet a strong team, who is top of the Iranian football league. But we are going to defeat the team, that’s why we are here,” Lamouchi said in the pre-match news conference.

“Naft is the best team in Iran at the moment. They take advantage of several young players and they make job difficult for us,” the Frenchman added.
