What Mourinho stated following Napoli’s 1-0 victory over Roma in Serie A regarding Osimhen
|
Victor Osimhen’s willingness to take calculated risks has been praised by Roma boss Jose Mourinho.
As Napoli defeated Mourinho’s team 1-0 on Sunday night, the Super Eagles striker scored the game-winning goal.
The Partenopei is now the most successful team in Europe thanks to a streak of 10 straight victories.
In seven games, they had scored 32 goals for a healthy average of more than three goals per contest, but against Roma, Luciano Spalletti made an unanticipated play.
Osimhen was chosen by the Napolo management to start the Serie A match instead of Giacomo Raspadori.
After receiving a route-one pass from Mateo Politano, Osimhen fought off Chris Smalling’s grip before launching a stunning shot from the most unlikely of angles.
“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,” Mourinho told DAZN after the game.
