Roma boss Luciano Spalletti is aware of the toughness of Ahli ahead of Wednesday's pre-season friendly at Cairo Stadium. "The game will not be easy at all, we know we are facing a very tough team with a lot of titles," Spalletti said in the pre-match news conference. "Ahli are very strong and if you have a look at the trophies they won, that even makes it more difficult. "We are willing to have strong friendlies before the Serie A start, but we are not concerned about the results. "I admit that we are yet to reach our top form, but I am confident that my players will give their maximum." The Giallorossi will kickoff their new season when they host Napoli in the Serie A opener on August 31st.
