Roma are expected to be among the top four in Serie A this season and have advanced to the quarterfinals stage of the UEFA Cup, and behind all this, there is an unsung hero who has quietly dedicated himself to the cause - "Little Pharaoh" Eshrawi. The 30-year-old striker had traveled to the Chinese Super League in 2019 in search of development, joining Shanghai Shenhua, but was questioned about sacrificing his professional career for the lure of money. However, Aixalavi's return to Serie A has seen his form improve, and with a number of successes this season, a renewal of his contract appears to be a foregone conclusion.
Aisharawi, who is of Egyptian descent, moved to AC Milan from Genoa in 2011 and was once hailed as the most talented Italian player. In the 2012/13 season, he scored 16 goals in the Serie A, the scenery is infinite, but since then the performance could not be sustained, bouncing around to play for Monaco, Roma, in 2019 at the age of 26 years old accidentally landed in the Chinese Super League.
However, Aizawl returned to Roma after only a year and a half at Shanghai Shenhua, and under Molenu's tutelage, he has transformed himself from a pure striker into an all-round warrior capable of playing as a left wingback. He has contributed 4 goals in Serie A this season. Aizawl also played a key role in Roma's journey to the quarterfinals of the Europa League, including his goal against Real Sociedad in the first leg of the Round of 16, which laid the foundation for their advancement, and in the second leg of the Round of 8 against Feijano, where he came on as a substitute, he scored the winning goal in extra time, which helped Roma turn the score around.
Recently, Roma's management is actively negotiating a contract extension with Aizawl's agent, and an agreement is expected to be reached soon to extend his contract until 2025, allowing him to fully dedicate himself to building the team.
