Ranieri to continue relying on Soulé and Shomurodov | OneFootball

Roma wants European placement in this season finale. Claudio Ranieri, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport, was able to restore confidence in the group and achieve a comeback that only a few months ago seemed impossible.

One of the coach’s greatest merits was to have been able to restore confidence to players who now seemed out of the club’s projects.In particular, Ranieri revitalised Matìas Soulé and Eldor Shomurodov, who were also the ones who gave Roma the victory in the last Serie A match against Verona. The first made the decisive assist and the second scored.

The Argentine’s numbers speak of a new attacker, who has played as a starter in the last 9 Serie A matches being a starter 10 times out of 12 since January and who has scored 3 decisive goals against Parma, Empoli and Lazio in addition to the two assists for Shomurodov against Monza and Verona.

The Uzbek, on the other hand, has regained continuity reaching 7 goals and 3 assists in the season: he has not reached such important figures since 2021/22, when he won the Conference League with José Mourinho’s Roma (with 5 goals and 6 assists to his name).
