Muscat: Qatar and Al Sadd Club defender Abdulla Kone has said he was not afraid of any striker at the Gulf Cup.
Kone, who joined Qatar team in the 1998 Gulf Cup in Bahrain, said: "All the teams in the tournament have prepared well and came to compete for the title. There are no big differences between them except in experience, morale and spirit.
"We are in a strong group and it will not be easy to win matches.
