Hi @IlgarZarbaliyev , Thanks for the challenge. Please see my solution. I always prefer using INDEX and MATCH to vLookup as I find it far more versatile.
Birthday: =INDEX(DATA!D:D,MATCH(B$1,DATA!$C:$C,0))
Country: =INDEX(DATA!B:B,MATCH(B$1,DATA!$C:$C,0))
Club: =INDEX(DATA!M:M,MATCH(B$1,DATA!$C:$C,0))
Picture: Created a Named Range for the picture called PlayerPics: =INDEX(DATA!P:P,MATCH(Research!$B$1,DATA!$C:$C,0)) and then made the Picture cell =PlayerPics

@IlgarZarbaliyev - The last part of the workout displaying the player image was a bit tricky.
Formula to show:
a) Birthday: =INDEX(Data[BIRTHDATE],MATCH($B$1,Data[NAME],0))
b) Country: =INDEX(Data[COUNTRY],MATCH($B$1,Data[NAME],0))
c) Club: =INDEX(Data[CLUB],MATCH($B$1,Data[NAME],0))
d) Player Image: I copied any one of the player’s image and paste it in the given area. Then I clicked on it and in the formula bar I simply typed =PlayersPictures ( a named range which was already present ).
