After the dramatic matches in Milan, the struggle for spots in the UEFA Champions League has intensified in the Italian championship. The “Roma” club and its loyal fans' long-cherished goal of qualifying for the continent's most prestigious tournament has become more realistic.
On the eve of the 36th round in Serie A, teams like “Roma,” “Juventus,” “Lazio,” and “Bologna” have entered into fierce competition for the fourth place, which offers a ticket to the UEFA Champions League.
It is noteworthy that “Roma” is presenting itself as the “returning champion” with its recent results. The match against “Atalanta” in Bergamo will be one of the most important encounters of the current season for the “wolves.”
The experienced coach Claudio Ranieri, who has become the club's savior, is taking the team's mental and physical preparation seriously ahead of this match. The specialist is also showing great confidence in the squad that has recorded victories against “Fiorentina” and “Inter.”
This time, Mile Svilar will guard the goal for “Roma” again. He can easily be called the main factor in the team's 19-match unbeaten streak.
In the defense line, steadfast players like Zeki Celik, Gianluca Mancini, and Evan Ndika will take their places. Mats Hummels may finally get the long-awaited opportunity.
On the wings, Matias Sule and Angelino will be active, while Bryan Cristante and Manuel Kone will occupy the center. In the playmaker position, either Pellegrini or Paredes will be trusted.
In attack, the tandem of Uzbekistan's Eldor Shomurodov and Ukraine's Artem Dovbik is expected to appear on the field from the very first minutes. This pair has been standing out with very important goals and assists for the team in recent rounds.
Especially, Eldor Shomurodov has become one of the most reliable faces of “Roma” today. Having made effective contributions in four of the last five matches, scoring two goals and providing two assists, our compatriot is fully justifying the trust of the coaching staff.
The match against “Atalanta” in Bergamo will kick off on May 12 at 23:45 Tashkent time. This clash could be a decisive test for “Roma” not only as another match in the championship but also for a spot in the Champions League.
Fans are ready to confidently support their reliable team. The duo of Shomurodov and Dovbik, who are showing themselves in “Roma,” is serving as the team's strongest “weapon.”
What do you think? Can this duo return from Bergamo with a victory?
