Its not a good sign if you cant show up on big games. I swear this is like the 3rd year in a row where Osimhen did nothing deep in uefa competitions. I couldve sworn Napoli went against Barcelona in the europa league in 2022 and they got destroyed early in the game. You dont show up against real madrid in the group stage, what makes you think you can show up for barcelona?
People always bet on Napoli to win but they just dont show up. Having a sucker team with a bunch of low rank players because the owner sold players dont help either. Especially shuffling managers too. To go from winning to league to a low as 9th is something.
And people here was saying Peseiro was holding Osimhen back
This is not Victor’s Issue here. Napoli Players are selfish. They do not play as a team, they want self-glory that is why they couldn’t progress to the next round
