Well-deserved bro. Congratulations….and more will come your way if you keep your head down and keep working hard.
Congratulations Osigoal on your best player of the Month of January. You are simply worth it than any of your contestants. Keep shooting accurately at the goal for better future and awards.
God will propel you from higher to the highest in round leather game and permit you serious injury free season in Jesus name. More power to your elbow.Nigerians love you bro.
Finally Serie A gives him what he deserves, there has never been a better player than him this season in Italy!!!
Good progress.
What next?
Osimehn should work more on his left foot. He is too heavily reliant on his stronger right foot. When he puts defenders on the run, he always pulls away more to the right.
The deadliest finishers ever to play in Serie A and the world stage were the two-footed strikers.
Do that among other minor things, and we’ll be having our own George Weah by next World Cup.
