Mourinho evaluated Shomurodov and said what is his attitude!

"Roma" will host Norwegian "Buda-Glimt" in the fourth round of the group stage of the League of Nations. In the last round, this team disgraced Jose Mourinho and his students. The Romans want to regain the trust of their fans by avenging a 1-6 defeat.

Jose Mourinho shared his vision with journalists. The Portuguese coach also expressed his opinion about the situation in the Conference League, about Roma, about mistakes and omissions, about subordinates, in particular, about Eldor Shomurodov.

- We have six points in the Conference League, and we are in good shape. We want to beat the Norwegians in the upcoming game and regain our leadership in the group again.

We played too badly against Norway. I'm not going to blame anyone in particular. We lost as a team, and now we have to win in one team. Naturally, this is a completely different team that takes the field. In the previous game, I was concerned about the condition of the lawn on the field and the fatigue of the players. I was wrong, we were all wrong.

When I talk about Tammy Abraham, he came to our ranks from a country where a completely different football culture was formed. He is used to different refereeing, the social environment there is also special. Of course, there will be difficulties in such a situation. With the arrival of Tammy, he showed his level and skill. We continue to believe this, even if things are not going well right now. He's a great player. I don't see any problems. He's still playing and scoring a lot of important goals.

Niccolo Zanolo played with Juventus a little scared, and this can be explained by the fact that he underwent two complex operations. This must be understood correctly, over time such feelings are forgotten. Physically, everything is fine, Niccolo is an energetic guy. He has to tactically strengthen his game. Dzanolo is a true professional and loves to work tirelessly on himself. I am pleased with his attitude to work.

In fact, I trust everyone on the team. But sometimes performers are not in the best shape, especially this can be observed in the matter of self-confidence. I believe in the potential of Eldor Shomurodov as well as in Temmi Abraham. I have a strong faith in the Eldor. Only here we must take into account that there is a difference in the functional training of the players," Jose Mourinho said.

It is worth noting that Eldor Shomurodov moved from Genoa to Roma precisely at the suggestion and choice of a Portuguese specialist. The Romans will pay 17.5 million euros for a football player from Uzbekistan, who scored eight goals in his first season in Serie A, and will allocate a certain share of his next transfer to the Genoese. Thus, Eldor Shomurodov became the owner of the most expensive transfer among Uzbek football players.

Having become a pupil of Jose Mourinho, Shomurodov began to demonstrate his potential and skill as a scorer. He scored two goals in friendly matches and one goal against Trabzonspor in the first official match - a match in the qualifying round of the Conference League. However, then the situation changed dramatically. This is due to the impact of changes at Chelsea on Roma.

So after Chelsea acquired the striker of their dreams – Romelu Lukaku - for a record amount, there was no place left for Temmy Abraham in Thomas Tuchel's team. Jose Mourinho, who took advantage of the situation of a talented striker, called him to Rome.

Roma made a record transfer in its history, paying 40 million euros for Tammy Abraham. Rather, the arrival of Abraham worked to the detriment of Shomurodov. Jose Mourinho made the England star the main striker, leaving Eldor in reserve. Prior to that, Shomurodov adequately performed the role of the main striker.
