Al Ahly star Hussein Al-Shahat has sent a warning to Esperance ahead of the CAF Champions League final first leg on Saturday night.
The Red Devils travel to the Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi to take on Tunisian giants, seeking to defend their Champions League title.
The Egyptian giants have been criticised for their 'defensive' approach when playing on the road in the previous two rounds against Simba SC and TP Mazembe.

However, Al-Shahat insists the defending champions will not be playing for a draw on Saturday evening.
"We are ready to play the match, and Al-Ahly is a big team and will not only defend in the first leg," the Al Ahly said, as per Koora.
"It is usual for us to face Esperance in the final rounds, and we hope that we will be successful in achieving victory."
"Al-Ahly will not play for a draw. We will play for a win, with all our respect for Esperance."
"The pressure of the Esperance fans? The Al-Ahly fans are also great, and we respect the opponent's fans, but we strive to win.
"Esperance is a big team and includes distinguished players. Therefore, it qualified for the final match, and we respect all the players of the Tunisian team."
