Eldor Shomurodov and Roma: A new beginning!

2025 is remembered for one of the most joyful news for Uzbek football. This season was a turning point for Eldor Shomurodov. Having joined Roma in 2021, Eldor finally achieved the status of the team's main striker. Previously, under Jose Mourinho, Daniele De Rossi and Ivan Juric, he was mainly considered a reserve striker, but with the arrival of experienced coach Claudio Ranieri, the situation changed radically.

The loss of Dybala is the reason for big changes

Roma sent 11 players to the national teams in connection with the FIFA days. However, the team's main star Paulo Dybala was injured and will not be able to help the team for the rest of the season. This situation has become a serious problem for Ranieri, as Roma's attack is mainly built around Dybala.

Eldor Shomurodov, on the other hand, has managed to get into the starting lineup, cooperating well with Dybala and Matias Sule. Now he will have to take on even greater responsibility.

Ranieri is preparing a new tactic

According to Italian football experts, Claudio Ranieri is reviewing the team's attacking mechanisms. Due to Dybala's injury, the 73-year-old specialist may change the main scheme to 3-5-2. In this case, Eldor Shomurodov and Ukrainian Artem Dovbik are expected to act as two central strikers. Ranieri may also move Lorenzo Pellegrini to the center and add Matias Sule and Tommaso Baldanzi to the attack.

A big opportunity for Eldor

This situation could be beneficial for Eldor Shomurodov. Because in the new tactical scheme, he will act not in competition, but as a partner. This will allow him to show himself on the field and develop as a leading striker.

One of the legends of Italian football, Angelo Di Livio, also expressed his opinion on this matter and expressed interest in a new tactical scheme that Ranieri could use:

"The loss of Paulo Dybala is a big problem. Because he was one of the most important players in the team. But it is a big opportunity for other players, including Eldor Shomurodov and Artem Dovbik. And the idea of ​​playing with two strikers can be very interesting and effective."

Shomurodov - the new leader of "Roma"?

Eldor Shomurodov is currently in the national team. After completing his duty with the national team, he will return to "Roma" and begin to lead the team to a place in the European Champions League. If Ranieri chooses a 3-5-2 formation, this season could be a real springboard for Eldor.

Regardless, 2025 is shaping up to be a huge test and a year of great opportunity for Eldor Shomurodov. Roma's attack will now rest on his shoulders. Fans will be watching with great interest how he plays in his new role. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
