CONGRATULATIONS
Still Napoli players don’t want to Pass to him, I watched the game and I was so furious, even when Osimhen did a lovely assist to Mertens to score, Mertens shockingly ignored Osimhen to run to Insigne instead to celebrate, Even when Osimhen ran to the celebration spot, he was still ignored, in almost every game scored nowadays globally in football, the goalscorer always runs to the guy that gave him the assist to celebrate with him, It’s so obvious that Insigne and Mertens have formed a gang to frustrate Osimhen out of Napoli, my only happiness is Spalletti the coach and Napoli fans Love him so much. And Osimhen capped it up with a wonderful goal. I was so heartbroken that Napoli finally lost the game
As important as it is, a head that will wear the crown should not bother with who clap or didn’t clap for the King at initial beginning. It tells the World more about those players than, it says about Osimhen. In other words, they are doing themselves.
You’re spot on @Emecco. I saw the game too.
Regarding the celebrations, for instance when Mane scored today he kept pointing at Salah. He uttered something that looked like “No, it wasn’t me. It was you that made it happen”.
Congrats Osimhen.
More of that Osigoooooo.

This man who are you? You speak Bendel, speak Yoruba and now Igbo?
He made today’s game looked as if Napoli won, so electrifying.
Good luck Osimhen.
Egbe fueh re omon nor mon.
Osimhen. Omo’nor omo.
I have learnt from this match that the reason he couldn’t score against Ghana is our wingers and midfielder inability to feed him. Same problem that hindered Onuachu, Awoyini and others. Even Lewandoski can not function in SE setup. It’s time to correct this malfunction under any new Coach coming on board others SE won’t still fly.
We are waiting for the World best player award. Kudos lad.
Africana, na you biko. Fire in all cylinders!!!
Osimhen, omon nu uwa.
