"The Qatari league has been improving a lot during the last two or three years, important coaches have been hired, so the quality of local football has improved. Very important players have also arrived like Gabi at the time, Cazorla, Brahimi and now James Rodríguez, are players who undoubtedly make a difference, but who also contribute their quality to team play". The Spanish coach commented during the Qatar 2022 Organization, prior to what will be the commitment of the cup final.
Likewise, Xavi Hernández has added the following: The arrival of players like James Rodríguez is very good for the whole country, not only for his team, but for the organization chart of this sport in Qatar, because in the final this helps to improve everyone and everyone learns from these footballers.
Emir Cup Final
The Al Sadd coach has assured that it will be a rather complicated game for them, taking into account the great team of the rival and that they have now included the former Premier player.
"We are a big club, and we know that we can, our main objective is this final, but we know that it is very difficult, the rival has an excellent coach such as Laurent Blanc, very good players, and they have the experience of Nzonzi, Boli, Yacine Brahimi and now James Rodríguez, it's going to be a very difficult game".
