A while ago, the Sharjah football team, the Uzbek international professional Shukurov, left, leaving behind a fragrant biography and a bus during which he defended the Sharjah shirt, and he was considered a man of difficult tasks in the midfield, and a safety valve for the team.

Shukurov was able to create a beautiful friendly relationship with the Sharjah fans, who loved him, given his distinction and sincerity in defending his club's logo, as well as his high morals throughout his time with the team.

Shukurov left a good biography in the castle (the King) after five seasons spent in the ranks of Sharjah, after he moved to it in the year 2017 from the ranks of the Uzbek Bunyodkor.

Shukurov is one of the most prominent players on whom the technical staff, led by Romanian coach Kuzmin, relied, to perform many difficult tasks and roles on the field, and is also an example to follow for a professional player who knows the duties and tasks of his job as a player.

Shukurov won with Sharjah the league title in the 2019 season, and the Super Cup in the same year, under the leadership of former team coach Abdulaziz Al-Anbari.

He imposed himself strongly in the team's starting lineup, and achieved important results during the last period, the latest of which was his runner-up to the league champion last season.

Shukurov formed a distinguished trio with former Brazilian players, Igor Cornado and Wilton Suarez, before the first left for the Saudi League, and the second returned to his country permanently due to illness.

After them, he also formed a wonderful trio with the Brazilians Caio and Bernard, given the fact that they represent the element of experience in the team as foreign players and led the team during the last season to occupy second place, and was very close to competing for the league title if it had not stumbled in some matches during the first rounds of last season. .

The departure of Shukurov (26 years old) is a great loss for the Sharjah team, given the great roles he plays on the field, whether on the defensive side or in support of the offensive line.

Romanian coach Cosmin seeks to compensate for his absence, especially as Sharjah awaits important and difficult entitlements that require the presence of an experienced player with specific specifications, to replace Shukurov, who was permanently present in the starting lineup.

Throughout his career with Sharjah, Shukurov played 104 games, during which he scored 11 goals, including four goals in the professional league last season.

During their farewell to the player, the Chairman of the Sharjah Club, Ali Salem Al-Madfa, and the head of the club's football company, Abdullah Al-Ajla, described Shukurov as an example to follow for the professional player, and thanked him for what he had done during his career with the team.

• Shukurov played 104 matches with Sharjah, scoring 11 goals.. His most prominent achievements were the ADNOC Professional League title in 2019.
