What did Claudio Ranieri say about Eldor Shomurodov?

Klaudio Raneri's team “Roma” achieved a narrow 1:0 victory against “Empoli” in the next round of Serie A. In this match, Uzbekistan national team forward Eldor Shomurodov started in the main lineup and played for 72 minutes. The head coach shared his thoughts on the match.

"We need to improve our game; otherwise, we might end up drawing in such matches. The second half of the season is always tough. I also put players on the field today who were eager to play. Now we will focus on the match against “Athletic Bilbao” and try to prepare well.

I liked the effort of the whole team. Shomurodov is a great guy; even though he hasn't scored many goals in his career, the most important thing is to be in the right place at the right time. This is one of his strongest qualities. Moreover, Eldor has scored important goals up to this day, and I hope he continues to do so," said the Italian specialist.

It is worth noting that “Roma” will play their next match against Spain's “Athletic Bilbao” on March 13 at 22:45 Tashkent time.
