Athletes stressed that the Sharjah team will undoubtedly be affected by the absence of the most prominent players, and one of the best foreigners in the Arab Gulf League, Brazilian Igor Cornado, from the next match against Al Nasr in the ninth round, after being sent off against Bani Yas, the day before yesterday, in the eighth round, for obtaining the card The second yellow, asserting that Sharjah will not make up for his absence except with two options: "to demonstrate the team-playing style of the team coach Abdulaziz Al-Anbari, or to activate the parties and attackers well."

They told «Emirates Today»: “Igor is a player who makes the difference with any team, but Sharjah has a lot of solutions and cards that he can use to make up for his absence so that the team is not affected, especially since he is currently leading the league arrangement, and we need the efforts of all of his players, whether the basic or the substitutes ».

They pointed out that Igor continued to play many, many roles for the benefit of his team during various matches, describing the player as a fighter and a loyal team for his team in all cases.

The technical staff of Sharjah, led by Al-Anbari, seeks to prepare an alternative player for his most prominent absences in the Al-Nasr match. It is noteworthy that Igor received the second card in the "87" minute during the Bani Yas match, as this is the first time he has been absent from the team since the beginning of the current season.

For his part, the former national team coach, Dr. Abdullah Misfer, considered that “what distinguishes Igor is that, besides being a player of great value and very influential in the ranks of his team, he is also a loyal player and keen on his team and a fighter on the field, and you find many solutions during the matches, what is hurt In the interest of his team, ”pointing out that the impact of the absence of Igor lies in the issue of the replacement player who will replace him, considering that the former Al Ain player and the current island Omar Abdel Rahman was an influential player in the ranks of Al Ain, but the latter did not stand at one player, and he had many options in Find the alternative.

"Igor is one of the players whose presence in our league is in the interest of Emirates football, given that citizens who play with him learn from him," Mesfer said.

He added, "There are some teams, including Sharjah, that know how to deal with reality when there is a very influential player in its ranks, and Sharjah has a technical outlook that enables it to find alternative solutions in the absence of any influential player from its ranks."

He added: "I like it in Igor that he makes a strong difference in the ranks of his team, unlike some foreign players who unfortunately do not provide with their teams the return that equals the millions they receive."

For his part, Al-Wasl coach and former Olympic team, Hassan Al-Abdouli, stressed that Sharjah will be affected by the absence of Igor, but solutions exist with the technical staff to compensate for his absence, stressing that Sharjah can pursue more than one strategy to compensate for the player's absence, including relying on parties and attackers.

Abdoulouli said, "It is true that Igor is an influential player, but he is not the whole team. I do not expect his absence to affect 100% in Sharjah. Certainly, a coach like Al-Anbari has solutions that enable him to overcome this matter, especially since Sharjah depends on the style of team play."

He added, "For us as coaches, we look at the player's impact on the field from two sides, defensive and offensive at the same time, so that he has two functions on the field, namely playing defensive and offensive roles, and Igor performs the two functions well together."

For his part, the former youth team coach Ali Ibrahim considered that Igor is a player who has a significant impact and influence on the team, stressing that Sharjah can compensate for the player's absence by the collective performance of the team, with evidence that Sharjah was not affected by the absence of its professional Uzbek player Shukurov in the season The past is due to injury, indicating that Abdulaziz Al-Anbari succeeded in making up for Shukurov's absence by employing the players well on the field by relying heavily on the way of team play and not on a particular player on the field.
