Rome, Shomurodov who struggles: from Genoa the road to Eldor starts again (ado)
“I’m not in Rome to win a few games, but to bring home some trophies”. Sometimes, however, the road to success can be more torturous than expected. He realized it Mourinho and he is also realizing it Shomurodov. Goals and victories are his El Dorado, he will forgive us if we play with his name, but the path he took turned out to be more complicated than expected. From the withdrawal ofUzbekistan, thanks to the goal found in the last championship against Venice, he swore that “soon the real one will be seen again Rome“. But between saying and doing there are nine games between now and Christmas that will tell a lot about the future of the Giallorossi and Shomurodov. On Sunday he will clash with his past. Yes, because Eldor arrives in the capital in the summer since Genoa after a first year of Serie A which sees him as a protagonist especially in the final rush of the championship. Thirty-one appearances and 8 goals, 5 of which in the last six.
A roster that earned him the interest of Mourinho and Tiago Pinto who spent 17.5 million euros plus 2.5 in bonuses for the performance of the Uzbek striker. Many in relation to the ratio of performance so far had in the Giallorossi. Just 580 minutes and two goals: one in the Conference against Trabzonspor and the other before the stop in the defeat against Venice. A game, that of Penzo, which saw him start as a starter alongside Abraham. “If the coach asks me I’ll play with Tammy, I have no problem making the second striker” he said on the day of his inauguration in Trigoria. The Special One, however, has only tried twice to get them to play together from the start and on both occasions (Verona and Venice) there have been as many defeats. Unlike the Bentegodi match, however, the harmony with Abraham seemed better against Zanetti’s team. In Genoa they will be re-proposed together, but this time Mourinho he also hopes for a different final result.
