The current lineup of Shards possesses an impressive number of attacking players under the guidance of Russian coach Hulario Kozmin, including Kayo Lucas, Loan Pereira, Otman Kamara, Tyron Konrad, and recently joined from Al-Nasr, Moroccan player Adely Taarabt, in addition to Tunisian Fares Belyarbi and Brazilian Julien "Bayer".
The team is preparing for an important match on their home ground at the Sharjah Stadium against Jordanian club Al-Hussein Irbid tomorrow in the return leg of the 1/8 finals of the AFC Cup, after the first leg in Jordan ended in a 1:0 victory for Sharjah.
With such a large number of attacking players capable of high potential, Kozmin has a multitude of options for selecting attackers based on the situation on the field, especially considering that Sharjah is competing this season in several tournaments simultaneously.
Although Sharjah is currently in second place in the league standings, trailing four points behind the leaders Shabab Al-Ahli, the team has the ability to return to first place.
Kayo Lucas (30 years old) is one of the key attacking players for Sharjah; he has been consistently in the starting lineup, participating in 15 championship matches, of which 14 started from the beginning (1215 minutes on the field, 8 goals, 5 assists).
Loan Pereira (24 years old) has also shown his strength recently, being a reliable player in Sharjahâs main lineup, playing in 14 championship matches, of which 13 started (1133 minutes, 3 goals, 3 assists).
Attacker Otman Kamara (24 years old) represents one of the brightest rising stars in the Sharjah lineup, distinguishing himself since the start of the season in 13 matches, of which 11 started (928 minutes, 5 goals).
Adely Taarabt, who recently transferred to Sharjah from Al-Nasr, is also a significant asset to the club, possessing attacking potential while playing in the position of central playmaker. He has played 13 matches in the championship to date, 11 for his previous club and 2 for Sharjah.
Brazilian Julien (20 years old) is considered an important element in Sharjah's lineup, as he is capable of playing both in the center of the field and in attack. He took the field in 11 matches, starting as a starter (440 minutes, 3 goals, 1 assist).
Tyron Konrad (27 years old), who recently joined the team, has been a significant reinforcement for Sharjah lately, contributing his importance with three goals in eight championship matches, of which two started from the beginning (236 minutes).
Fares Belyarbi (28 years old) is one of the key figures in the Sharjah lineup, having appeared on the field in 15 matches, of which 14 started (1139 minutes, 4 goals, 1 assist).
Sharjah's coach Badr Ahmed said: "We have a comprehensive playing system in the team by positions, everyone fulfills their role from attack to defense, and having such attacking and collective strength makes us a strong team."
