Typical of our footballers, when an event to display their talent to the world is held, they disappear feigning injury.
Nahman you can say this! I saw the match and Osimhen was on all through the 90 minutes and was everywhere hence the coach could not substitute him.Because two people were always on him which was a hood defensive tactics for Napoli.
Osimhen is a whole sale footballer who is ready to win a match with all he has.
So, it will not be nice assuming otherwise.
Osimhen’s performance in the Lazio game was a class act. He did everything right except scoring a goal. His ability to hold up play was quite commendable. He showed hunger, determination and gut. The goals will surely come with consistency and good team spirit of his teammates.
Watch a game before you make a comment on such a talented individual player. Osimhen is always putting in 100 percent efforts in his games.
