What assessment did Maksim Shatskix give to Shomurodov, who broke his record?

Eldor Shomurodov, who is the captain of the Uzbekistan national team, is considered the best scorer in the history of this team.

Our 29-year-old player has scored 41 goals in 78 international matches. The scoring record in the national team was held by Maksim Shatskix for a long time before Eldor. Shatskix, who mainly played for foreign clubs, scored 33 goals in 60 games for our national team.

Currently, Maksim Shatskix, who is working as a sports advisor to the president of the "Pakhtakor" club where he was trained, answered questions about his colleague.

- Uzbekistan national team scorer Eldor Shomurodov was named the best player of "Roma" in February. What do you think of the Uzbek striker's performance?

- Of course, this is a very significant achievement! "Roma" is a club that has its place in Europe. Shomurodov had not been able to play for a long time and became a key player in February. Eldor showed that the head coach trusted him and he did not make a mistake.

Shomurodov provided assists, scored goals himself, and benefited his team. I believe Shomurodov rightfully became "Roma's" best player.

Especially, this was a very important event before the Uzbekistan national team's matches. This is a big plus for Eldor.

- Did the arrival of Claudio Ranieri affect Eldor's game? The experienced coach has not lost to anyone in "Roma" for 11 matches...

- It is possible. In general, Eldor Shomurodov and Artem Dovbik are currently the main two strikers of the Rome club. Ranieri is trying to rotate them.

In the match against "Como," Dovbik scored the winning goal. Ranieri is trying to give everyone game practice and time.

The head coach understands well that Dovbik and Shomurodov are essentially the same type of forwards. So why can't they be rotated? The players are satisfied with this, and the results are pleasing everyone. I also support this.

It is worth noting that "Roma" is currently fighting to enter the strong six that grants a ticket to the European cups in Serie A. After Claudio Ranieri's arrival, the "wolves" have risen to eighth place in the competition table.

Additionally, Ranieri has led the team past the group stage of the European League and left "Porto" behind in the playoff matches. Now the Romans will play two matches against Athletic Bilbao to reach the quarter-finals.

Eldor Shomurodov, whose game is improving, has played 24 times in all tournaments this season, scoring four goals and providing three assists.
