Brazilian star Igor represents the striking force in the Sharjah team, and the results of the "king" are greatly dependent on the level that Igor appears during the various matches. In the event of his decline in his level, Sharjah often suffers disappointing results, while if he is strongly present, victories will come.

This has become a problem for the team, which is confirmed by former Sharjah reserve team coach Abdul Majeed Al Nimr, and confirmed by the team’s records, as in the current season, the team scored 38 goals, including 15 goals from Igor only, not to mention 6 assists from the most prominent playmaker in League.

Igor suffered a clear decline in the level, especially in the second round, which made Sharjah relatively far from the competition for the league title, as the difference between him and Al-Jazira leaders became seven points, while today in the 22nd round he is involved in a difficult match against Al Wasl, which may make him out of the box. Golden in the event of a loss.

While Igor scored nearly half of the team's goals, six other players scored 23 goals.

Abdul Majeed Al-Nimr told Emirates Today: “Sports street, as well as the media, know that Sharjah relies heavily on Igor, whether last season or the end of the first round of the current season, and when the team was in the lead, this was largely a result of Igor's brilliance, although we do not. Underestimate the rest of the foreign players on the team.

But the fact is that Sharjah depends mainly on Igor, and his position reflects positively and negatively on the rest of the foreign players in the team.

Igor missed the scoring in six rounds, as it was the last time he scored in the Fujairah match within the 14th round, and he did not score in rounds from 15 to 19, but he returned and scored a quadruple in Khorfakkan in round 20, while he missed the scoring in the Shabab Al-Ahly match in round 21 , During which he missed a penalty.

Igor, 28, is considered an icon of the Sharjah team. He led the team, along with the rest of his teammates, to achieve a historic achievement by winning the Arabian Gulf League title the season before last, and also to winning the Arabian Gulf Super Cup.

The irony was the absence of his goals in very important matches, perhaps the most prominent of which was the Shabab Al-Ahly meeting.

"Last season, when Igor's level was declining, he was filled by the former team player and the current victory, Ryan Mendes," Al-Nimr said.

He pointed out that "some were saying that Sharjah is not Igor, but the reality says that when the Brazilian star shines, the whole team performs well," stressing that Igor is an influential player in the team as a whole, and in foreign players in particular.

And he stressed that Sharjah, who was at the top of the league standings, moved away significantly from the top after his recent loss to Shabab Al-Ahly, after the difference between him and Al-Jazeera, the leaders, widened.

He explained: "We can find the team an excuse if there are problems in its ranks, but the club management is talking about that there are no problems, and therefore we do not know exactly the reasons for the decline in the level of the team in general, is it psychological or administrative?"

Al-Nimr continued, "If there were injuries in the team, then some of the injured players returned to participate with the team, but the team's status is still deteriorating."
