This season, the Turkish Super League seems completely different to Uzbek football fans. The reason is simple - we have two stars in Istanbul Bashakshehir: Eldor Shomurodov and Abbosbek Fayzullayev. That's why most people's attention was focused on this team, and the serious changes that the team recently experienced only increased interest.
Nuri Shahin came and the team changed face to face
Due to disappointing results at the start of the season, Bashakshehir's management brought the name Nuri Shahin, whose name is on the main pages of European football. The 37-year-old has played for clubs such as Borussia Dortmund, Feyenoord, Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Werder Bremen, and his experience is no secret.
He also has considerable experience in coaching: his work at Antalyaspor and Dortmund breathed new life into his teams.
The same thing happened with Bashakshehir - the style of play was updated, the team moved faster, closer, and more confidently on the field. The results have improved, including the fans' mood.
Serious proposal from Moscow - and its rejection
Nuri Shaxin's growth certainly caught the attention of many. In particular, Dynamo Moscow, a team with a history in Russian football, showed serious interest in him.
Currently, Dinamo is managed by Valeriy Karpin - the specialist who shone Eldor Shomurodov at Rostov and led him to Italy. However, Karpin left the club to focus entirely on the Russian national team.
Following this, Dinamo Sports Director Jelko Buvach addressed Shaxin directly.
However, according to Turkish and Russian sources, Shahin refused. He has long-term plans for Bashakshehir and has stated that he has just begun the team's reforms and must continue his work.
Shomurodov's rebirth - a new stage in the hands of the specialist
Under Nuri Shaxin, Eldor Shomurodov has regained his form at Rostov. The 30-year-old striker has scored 8 goals in 12 appearances in the Turkish Super League this season, becoming one of the top scorers.
Eldor's development this season is no coincidence - he scored one goal each against "Beshiktosh," "Alanyaspor," "Konyaspor," "Galatasaray," "Kojaelispor," "Genchlerbirligi," and a brace against "Antalyaspor."
Eight of Bashakshehir's 13 goals came from Eldor. This result once again shows him as a high-level striker.
Abbosbek is about to return to the field
Abbosbek Fayzullayev participated in five matches at the beginning of the season, but his injury temporarily sidelined him. Now he has returned to training and is busy restoring his athletic form. His return to the field is expected soon - and this will further expand the team's attacking capabilities.
The next test is Trabzonspor
Istanbul Bashakshehir will host Trabzonspor on November 23rd. The team is currently in high spirits, the playing style has been restored, Shomurodov's shine in attack - all of this gives fans great hope.
Conclusion
After Nuri Shahin's decision, stability was maintained at Bashakshehir. The specialist's work style was absorbed into the team, and Eldor's brilliance became an important part of this project. With Fayzullayev's return to the field, the team will become even stronger.
The brilliance of Uzbek football players in Turkey this season is undoubtedly the beginning of a big story.
