“After some couple of games at home, we sat down, he called me to his house, and he spoke to me, Osimhen said.”

“He showed me some of my clips when I was in Charleroi, and he shows some of his assists also, so he told me, how else do I want the ball”? So I explained to him, this is the way I run, this is what I need, whenever I need the ball on the space, I know this is what he should do.

“So I think we’ve been trying to understand each other in training, and you can see we are getting better, and of course, we’ll get even more better with time, he added.
