With the help of Ranieri Shomurodov, "Juventus" defense is trying to "disorder"

With the help of Ranieri Shomurodov, "Juventus" defense is trying to "disorder"
Roma, who are continuing their unbeaten run in Serie A under Claudio Ranieri, will play a crucial match on Sunday.

The Romans have not lost in the championship for almost four months and the team's winning streak has reached seven games. These figures have helped the team, which was at the bottom of the competition table, rise up and now Roma has a chance to qualify for next season's Champions League.

In the 31st round, scheduled for April 6, sixth-placed Roma will host fifth-placed Juventus, who have three points more than them. The team that wins the upcoming match will have a significantly higher chance of making it to the top four.

It is said that Claudio Ranieri has decided to change his team's game plan ahead of the crucial match. The reason for this is the long-term injury of the team's leader Paulo Dybala.

Sources covering Italian football write that the 73-year-old coach is preparing a surprise for the Turin club.

- Claudio Ranieri decided to play the tandem of Eldor Shomurodov and Artem Dovbik from the first minute in order to break through the Juventus defense. These two strikers have only played together in four matches in Serie A so far. In particular, in the previous round of the match against Lecce, Artem Dovbik was able to score the winning goal after Eldor Shomurodov came on the field. The Uzbek legionnaire caught the attention of the opposing defenders, saved the Ukrainian forward from their pursuit, and Dovbik scored.

Ranieri, considering Eldor's services, said: "I told the team how to pass the ball to Artem. A player as quick as Shomurodov created the conditions for him to score, and Dovbik felt his help very well."

The Ukrainian striker was often left alone and unsupported on the front line. Shomurodov's playing characteristics allow Dovbik to move freely and receive passes. In the match against Juventus, it is expected that the two strikers will play an advantage. Shomurodov's actions are an important factor in achieving the result, - wrote Maurizio Rasa, an expert on the vocegiallorossa.it website.

Another source covering Roma's activities, laroma24.it, also notes that Eldor Shomurodov's playing style and mobility will be useful to the capital's "wolves" in the match against the Turin superclub.

- If Roma plays with two central strikers, Eldor Shomurodov will have to move across the wide area. The Uzbek legionnaire can attack behind Dovbik in the center of attack and switch wings. Dovbik, on the other hand, will focus on receiving the ball inside the opponent's penalty area and shooting at goal.

The Uzbek striker is confident in the fight for balls coming from above, can head a shot or pass the ball to Dovbik, - laroma24.it explained.

The famous "Olimpico" arena will host the match between Roma and Juventus. The match will start on April 6 at 23:45 Tashkent time.
