Shomurodov was severely criticized by "Roma" fans

As part of the 28th round of Serie A, Roma hosted Empoli. In this match, the Romans won 1:0. A goal scored by Matthias Sule in the 1st minute gave Ranieri's team 3 points. In this match, our compatriot Eldor Shomurodov played for 72 minutes. Although he played actively, he could not score an effective goal in the match.

I noticed that some fans criticized Shomurodov in the comments section of Roma's Instagram page. In particular, the following comment caught my attention:

- Shomurodov, who scored 14 goals in 116 games, plays as a striker for Roma. At 42, I can score more goals than him. It must not be so easy to wear the Wolves jersey. How do you imagine a striker who scored 14 goals in 116 games?

True, Eldor was not so lucky in the match against Empoli. In some goal-scoring situations, he lacked a little composure. However, the player ran, fought, worked hard, and shot at goal. Luck simply turned away from him. However, a few days ago, Shomurodov, who scored a goal against Athletic Bilbao, was praised by many Roman fans. Today, the opposite happened. In fact, this is the fate of this striker. Such is the nature of a fan. Well, if he scores in the next match, he will become a favorite player for the audience again.

In general, Eldor is currently having the best season in Rome. We also saw the actions of Dovbik, who came on as his replacement. Compared to the Ukrainian player, Eldor performed very well. This is also noted by Italian fans who understand football well. If we dwell on the above explanation, when the striker of our national team came to the team in his first season, Abraham was also bought with him. Naturally, Mourinho saw Shomurodov as a reserve player. Our compatriot was given almost no time in the main team during his time, and even appeared very rarely from the reserve. Then he played on loan at Spezia and Cagliari. Even under other specialists in the Roman grand. Eldor was always seen as a second option.

In many games, players who come on in the last 10 minutes of the second half have fewer goals and assists than those who play in the last 10 minutes of the second half. Since 2025, our striker has been playing regularly for the Wolves and his statistics are gradually improving (this year he has scored 3+2 points in the goal+assist system). It should also be noted that he became the best player of Roma last month. He scored very important goals in the matches against Eintracht and Athletic Bilbao. We hope that the forward will be able to respond to the fans who criticize him with his goals. Most importantly, we hope that Shomurodov will lead our team to the World Cup with his goals in the remaining 4 matches of the World Cup qualifiers.
