Victor Osimhen, the Super Eagles striker, has been described by Roma manager Jose Mourinho as a player who can capitalize on any opportunity in a game.
The Nigerian international scored the game-winning goal in Napoli’s 1-0 Serie A victory over Roma on Sunday, and the Portuguese tactician boss shared his thoughts on the forward.
Osimhen outmuscled Chris Smalling to hit a stunning shot from an unlikely position after receiving a route-one pass from Mateo Politano.
Mourinho praised Osimhen for his ability to capitalize on every opportunity resulting from his performance.
We have to be more decisive upfront, what lodges into the statistics are the shots on goal.
Then I also look at the half opportunities, those that you have to transform into opportunities as Osimhen did, the manager said.
