The Sharjah team starts today a difficult journey in the Arab Gulf League, in light of the long absence of its first star, its playmaker and goalscorer, Igor Cornado. (The King) will be a guest at Al Dhafra at 18:00, in the 11th round of the Arab Gulf League.
Sharjah leads the league with 24 points, one point behind Al-Ahly youth, and with the expected absence of Igor for two months due to the injury, Sharjah will have to live with the new situation and defend the top of the league, in light of the great pressure from Al-Ahly youth and the island, as any stumbling today is a loss. Or a tie, which might mean if Al-Ahly's youth won the last Kalba meeting, take the lead.
The game becomes more difficult because it is in front of a team that beat Al Ain in Al-Akhayb Stadium last round, and also because Sharjah misses its most dangerous players. However, Sharjah may rely on his performance in the Al-Nasr meeting when Igor missed the suspension, yet he won 3-1.
And the coach of Sharjah, Abdulaziz Al-Anbari, should not turn a blind eye to the danger of Brazilian duo Al Dhafra Joao Pedro and Diego Gardel.
On the other side, Al-Dhafra, who is in seventh place with 14 points, enters the match and aspires to take advantage of the state of confusion in the ranks of his opponent, who drew in the last round against Ajman, and qualified for the cup quarter-finals with difficulty, as well as to take advantage of the absence of Igor, in order to continue on the path of victories. On the other hand, Al-Dhafra coach, the Serbian Razovic, considered that he does not care much about the issue of Igor's absence from Sharjah, and that all his concern is to focus on the match. He said in the press conference: The importance of the match comes as being with the leaders of the arrangement, and he said: "I cannot predict what will happen during the meeting, but I will wait to see, for me what I will work on is to enhance confidence in the hearts of players to present their best."
