Victor Osimhen, the standout player for Napoli, has the potential to be a great football player if he continues to work on his craft, according to Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro.
Peseiro made his remarks just after Saudi Arabia held Nigeria to a 2-2 draw in Portugal on Friday night.
He maintained that “He must Keep the mentality” in spite of the Eagles forward’s provocation through a sarcastic TikTok video made by the same team that Osimhen assisted in winning a third Italian League championship in three decades. Maintain your personality. The best players play like that. And he can be at the top,” the Portuguese coach emphasized in his home country during the FIFA window.
In light of the tiktok video altercation with Napoli, the Super Eagles coach consequently counseled Osimhen to maintain composure and not lose his mental equilibrium.
Peseiro is still in disbelief that Napoli would ever consider making fun of their best player. “He helps the team win the league (champion), so why are they making fun of him now? He stated. It’s Osimhen who shines. He was not a star two years ago. He’s a star now. Additionally, he said, “Everyone wants more, more, more when you’re a star.
Peseiro emphasized how offensive the TikTok video was. “That clip? through the club? To Sky Sports, he said. “Viewing something from the outside is one thing, but watching a club video is the worst.” That is not possible.
He was depressed since nobody finds life to be easy. He is unable to comprehend it. “He doesn’t know why,” the Super Eagles strategist emphasized.
But because the fans adore him, Peseiro counseled Osimhen never to play against them. “What Napoli did was a bad one. Naturally, he would rather that they not proceed. But remember to maintain your composure. Play for the fans, not against them. Keep your equilibrium.
The Italian winners poked fun of Osimhen’s missed penalty in the team’s 0-0 tie against Bologna in a video that was put on the team’s social media page late last month. The audio over the video was strange and sped up.
Napoli has since removed the post that Osimhen’s counsel threatened to take legal action against.
Last season, Osimhen led Napoli to their first league championship in more than 30 years and became the first African Capocannoniere in Serie A with 26 goals.
