“Osimhen is a player who has these sudden surges and spurts, but he needs to every now and then also figure out how to pass it and work with his teammates,”Spalletti told DAZN.
“He was a little tired , but still created chances, caused issues, and when Atalanta pushed their wing backs higher with the strikers wide, he was alone in midfield and in those situations can do more than he did tonight.”
