Ajax head coach John Heitinga believes Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen’s goals made the big difference in the team’s loss to Galatasaray in Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League.
Recall that the Nigerian international took his European tally to six goals this term, opening the scoring in the 59th minute before adding two more from the penalty spot.
With his hat-trick, Osimhen reached 25 goals in European competitions, overtaking former Inter Milan and Newcastle United forward Obafemi Martins to become Nigeria’s all-time top scorer in Europe.

Reacting after the game, Heitinga in a chat with Ziggo Sport, stated that Ajax conceded a real striker’s goal.
“This result felt flattering,” the Dutchman told Ziggo Sport as per VI.
“We didn’t give much away in the first sixty minutes; we were really in the game. We started well in the second half, but we conceded a real striker’s goal. We just have to defend better.”

Guys, we need to pray for Osimhen to come through this weekend without injury. We can’t afford to be in the playoffs without him.
“….With his hat-trick, Osimhen reached 25 goals in European competitions, overtaking former Inter Milan and Newcastle United forward Obafemi Martins to become Nigeria’s all-time top scorer in Europe….”
Hehehehehe……..CSN, you guys will kill that Monkey Post with high blood pressure o. These back-to-back “bad newses” you guys keep dropping about Osimhen will send him to an early grave if you don’t slow down on it.
Please, we need it to remain alive and continue barking on the pages of the internet so that Osimhen will continue to not know peace…………….LMAOOooo.
This version of Osimhen that does not know peace seems to be grabbing international headlines more often than not these days.
See the Osimhen that is not all that good and must be banned from the national team has become Nigeria’s all-time this, all-time that, all-time those every passing season.
“….Nigeria’s all-time top scorer in Europe….”
I swelled with pride when the likes of Thierry Henry and Micah Richards were analysing this boy on CBS. The world sees the greatness in this pride of Nigeria and Africa as a whole, except for one born by mistake liar whose paternity is still being contested as we speak.
