Yesterday's match between "Roma" and "Juventus" at the "Olimpico" will be remembered by fans not only for the result but also for its dramatic twists. In this important match, Uzbek striker Eldor Shomurodov once again became the hero of the Romans.
Substituted in after the break, Eldor made his move in the 49th minute in his classic style, seizing the Juventus goal and saving his team from defeat. The match ended in a 1:1 draw.
Eldor, who received significant attention from fans and journalists, shared his sincere thoughts in an interview with the "DAZN" channel after the game:
– Before coming on from the bench, coach Ranieri told me to help Dovbik. We started the second half well, but unfortunately, we couldn't achieve victory. In fact, we had the opportunity to score a second goal. However, getting one point against Juventus is not a bad result.
Shomurodov did not hide his satisfaction with his goal, but he also emphasized the fans' desire for a double:
– I am happy, of course. But it would have been amazing if I had scored two goals.
As the captain of our national team feels the responsibility in such matches, he also touched upon the upcoming clash – the Rome derby:
– We need to prepare seriously for the "Derby." We must not go back from what we have achieved so far. The important thing is to make the fans happy.
A glance at the statistics: 29-year-old Eldor Shomurodov has participated in 30 matches for "Roma" in all competitions this season, scoring 6 goals and providing 3 assists. Notably, he brings energy and character to the game every time he comes off the bench.
The goal scored against Juventus was another milestone for Shomurodov. Coming off the bench to save the team is not just a coincidence. Today, Eldor is the fighting heart of "Roma," and the fans are expecting more goals from him.
