Raneri Shomurodov aims to 'break down' Juventus defense with help
Under the guidance of Claudio Ranieri, Roma will play a very important match on Sunday, continuing their unbeaten streak in Serie A.

The Romans have not lost in the league for almost four months, and the team's winning streak has reached seven matches. These results have allowed the team, which had fallen to the lower ranks of the competition table, to rise, and now Roma has the opportunity to qualify for the next season of the UEFA Champions League.

In the 31st round scheduled for April 6, sixth-placed Roma will host Juventus, who are in fifth place with three more points. The team that emerges victorious in the upcoming clash will significantly increase its chances of entering the top four.

Before this crucial match, it is reported that Claudio Ranieri has decided to change his team's playing scheme. The reason for this is the long-term injury of team leader Paulo Dybala.

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

- Claudio Ranieri has decided to start Eldor Shomurodov and Artem Dovbik from the first minute to break through Juventus' defensive fortress. These two forwards have only played together in four matches in Serie A so far. Especially in the previous round against Lecce, Artem Dovbik managed to score the winning goal with the help of Eldor Shomurodov after he came onto the field. The Uzbek legionnaire attracted the attention of the opposing defenders, freeing the Ukrainian forward from their pursuit, allowing Dovbik to seize the goal.

Considering Eldor's contributions, Ranieri said, “I told the team how to pass the ball to Artem. A fast player like Shomurodov created the conditions for him to score, and Dovbik felt his assistance clearly.”

The Ukrainian forward often found himself isolated and unsupported in the attacking line. The playing characteristics that Shomurodov possesses allow Dovbik to move freely and receive passes. The presence of both forwards in the match against Juventus is expected to be beneficial. Shomurodov's movements are becoming a crucial factor in achieving results, wrote Mauritsio Rasa, an expert from vocegiallorossa.it.

Another source covering Roma's activities, laroma24.it, also emphasizes that Eldor Shomurodov's playing style and mobility will be advantageous for the capital's "wolves" in the upcoming clash with the Turin superclub.

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

The Uzbek forward acts confidently in battles for high balls, capable of heading the ball or passing it to Dovbik, explained laroma24.it.

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