What did Ranieri say about Shomurodov's game being played out?

After the appointment of experienced specialist Claudio Ranieri as head coach of “Roma”, positive changes began to be observed in the activities of Eldor Shomurodov.

It was the 73-year-old specialist who prevented the Uzbek player from moving to another club during the winter transfer window. Since then, the 29-year-old striker has been playing an important role in the game of “Roma”.

Experts emphasize that although Shomurodov scores few goals, he has a significant impact on the team's game in organizing the attack, and he works effectively in tandem with Argentine strikers Paulo Dybala and Matias Sule.

In the 26th round of Serie A, Eldor Shomurodov became the main hero in the match against the championship outsider “Monza”. Our compatriot first assisted Alexis Salemakers’ goal, then in the middle of the first half he scored a beautiful goal, practically deciding the fate of the match in favor of the “wolves”.

The Romans scored two more goals before the end of the match, bringing the score to 4:0. After this match, the head coach of the team Claudio Ranieri expressed his thoughts.

- The players are training well, the internal atmosphere in the team is excellent. I continue to express confidence in my players. We were able to return the feeling of pride in the team to the fans. Now they are confident in the capabilities of the guys, supporting the team, and this is very important.

My students are applying the skills they have been learning in training in practice. This match was very dangerous and potentially a trap for us, especially since Monza is fighting to stay in the league. I demanded that the team pay serious attention to this issue and find a quick solution.

The guys understood that the situation was serious. Every match until the end of the season will be very important and difficult.

I try to maintain constant contact with the team. My players also know that I am ready for everything for them. The fans should come to the stadium and see a team that fights until the end. The result will depend on many factors, and the most effective way is for individual players to demonstrate their will in the interests of the team.

Eldor Shomurodov is becoming the main striker. I sincerely say that there should be no negative thoughts in order to prepare for an important match and decide it in our favor. I am giving these guys a chance to play.

"I decided to use players who are rarely on the pitch in the match against Napoli. You should have seen how these guys, especially Shomurodov, are sweating in training... They are eager to get on the pitch. This is important for me. It is difficult to choose a squad in such a situation, but these players are giving 100 percent. Every game depends on the player's desire to play for the team," said Claudio Ranieri.

Eldor Shomurodov has made 24 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring four goals and providing three assists.

Roma will play their next Serie A match against Como on March 2. The match kicks off at 22:00 Tashkent time. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
