Osimhen, a raw baller, from Nigeria n on bill to win more. His simplicity is a wonder.
The control was not just perfect but effortlessly. I saw the clip, the uninterrupted touches were 7times before passing the ball to kava. This was even despite the sea of heads in the 18yard box. Messi is jealous!
