After a commanding 5-1 victory over «Gaziantep» in the 17th round of the Turkish Super Lig, "Istanbul Basaksehir" and Uzbekistan national team forward Eldor Shomurodov spoke with journalists.
During the press conference, he was asked about his position in the top scorers' race. Journalists pointed out that Shomurodov currently leads in terms of goals scored, surpassing prominent strikers such as Paul Onuachu, Mauro Icardi, and Anderson Talisca, and inquired about his thoughts on the competition.
The Uzbek striker responded in a very calm and humble manner:
“It is, of course, pleasant to be in the top scorers' race. However, for me, the most important thing is the team's victory and climbing higher in the league standings. Personal statistics are not as important as the overall result,” Shomurodov said.
It should be noted that in the match against «Gaziantep», Eldor scored one goal and provided an assist. As a result, his current season tally has reached 12 goals and 3 assists. This makes him the undisputed leader in the Turkish league in terms of the «goal+assist» ranking.
Experts believe that Shomurodov's prioritization of team play has significantly contributed to «Basaksehir»'s consistent performance in recent rounds. Fans, meanwhile, highly appreciate not only his goal-scoring abilities but also his leadership qualities.
