“Victor is Incredible” – Super Eagles coach applauds Victor Osimhen’s goal

Victor Osimhen, who now has 13 goals for the season, has been outstanding for Luciano Spalletti’s team so far.

The Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro, lauded Victor Osimhen’s goal in Napoli’s win against Salernitana.

The Super Eagles forward increased his team’s advantage in the Parthenopean’s trip to Napoli after the Italian defender, Giovanni Lorenzo, netted the first goal a few minutes before halftime.

Salernitana’s goaltender, Guillermo Ochoa, thwarted Osimhen on many occasions until he eventually scored a few minutes into the second half.

However, according to the former Portuguese boss, the Nigerian forward is always hungry to score more goals for his club and country.

In an interview with Il Mattino di Napoli as quoted by Calcionapoli24, the manager indicated that he is not surprised by the attacker’s hunger for goals.

“Victor is incredible, because he is never happy. Even when he scores and is decisive. He was happy but for the goal, but he would have liked to do more. He is like that: he is never satisfied. The next game always matters to him. But I’m not surprised.” he said.

The Super Eagles’ most recent performance for his team has generated a lot of discussion in the global football community.

He has so far scored 13 goals and provided three assists for Luciano Spalletti’s team.
