Qatar and Jordan in the Asian Cup final... A champion defends his title and an aspirant writes his fairy tale.
The final scene of the long, entertaining and exciting continental football series will be shown tomorrow, Saturday, at Lusail Stadium. Great pressure will be on the shoulders of the players who are competing in the third Arab confrontation in this tournament, after the UAE and Saudi Arabia in the 1996 edition and the 2007 final. “It's just a football match that we have to enjoy,” Lopez said. Amouta may become the second Arab coach to win the title after Saudi Khalil Al-Zayani in 1984.
