Spalletti: Osimhen is a complete package
Napoli manager, Luciano Spalletti has hailed Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen following his sterling display against AS Roma in a Serie A match at the Diego Maradona Stadium Sunday night.
Osimhen opened the scoring in the 17th minute, while Giovanni Simeone who came in from the bench sealed a 2-1 victory for Napoli.
Spalletti was moved with the technicality of the goal scored by Osimhen, after controlling Kvicha Kvaratskhelia’s cross and smashing it into the net.
Speaking after the game, Spalletti said, “we also didn’t give Osimhen the right service, but he did well to find the spaces anyway.
There is everything in that goal, technical quality, character to juggle the ball between two defenders, then he hit this rocket into the net, as he really has got a cannon for a foot.“
“He has physical strength, accepts the challenge, tracks back to help, is good in the air. He is the complete package”, said Spalletti.
