The second half of the current season has brought a new spirit to the 'Roma' team. At the beginning of the season, when they could only dream of the UEFA Champions League, the team under Claudio Ranieri began to show a completely different side. The reason for this is undoubtedly the effective play of the attacking duo consisting of Eldor Shomurodov and Artyom Dovbik.
According to analyses in the Italian press, the 'Roma' team has recorded an unbeaten streak of 19 matches under Ranieri's leadership — including 14 wins and 5 draws. Experts are increasingly convinced that the main force behind these results is the Shomurodov and Dovbik duo.
In an article published in Italy's La Repubblica under the headline "Rome is getting closer to Europe with Shomurodov and Dovbik," it was noted that the only goal that led to victory against 'Fiorentina' was achieved through the collaboration of this duo. The Uzbek and Ukrainian legionnaires have rebuilt the team's forward line together, giving it new life.
Shomurodov is doing a tremendous job of moving freely on the field, creating open spaces, and distracting opposing defenders. His actions are opening up great opportunities for a physically strong striker like Dovbik. As a result — victories, points, and a real chance for a UEFA Champions League spot.
As of today, Shomurodov and Dovbik have managed to play together for over 350 minutes on the field. During this period, they recorded four effective actions, including goals and assists that determined the team's points. In the last five rounds alone, Eldor has become one of the key figures of the team with two goals and two assists.
Eldor saved his team from defeat with an important goal against 'Juventus.' Then, by scoring the only goal in the match against 'Verona,' he revived 'Roma's' fight for the Champions League. In the game against 'Inter,' he assisted Matias Sule, and in the match against 'Fiorentina,' he provided a pass to Dovbik, becoming the decisive figure of the game.
Overall, Shomurodov has played 34 times in all competitions this season, scoring a total of 7 goals and providing 5 assists. His actions are being closely watched with great respect not only by opponents but also by 'Roma's' own fans.
There is now no doubt that Claudio Ranieri will use the Shomurodov and Dovbik duo together more on the field. The team has begun to create a vital threat in attack, with the main "weapons" being numbers 9 and 99.
What can we expect from the upcoming matches? More victories, more effective actions from the duo, and perhaps a star season that will lead 'Roma' to the UEFA Champions League!
