Osimhen Is Unstoppable At The Moment – Walter Mazzarri

Cagliari coach, Walter Mazzarri has come out to hail club striker, Victor Osimhen. This is coming after the Nigerian’s performance vs Napoli to win 2-0 in their Serie A fixture on Sunday.

According to him, the fact that Osimhen runs alone at five players and gets through is simply incredible and he likes how intentional the ex Lille striker is on the pitch now.

Walter added that Napoli is definitely the best team in the Serie A at the moment and they’ll take some stopping.

His words, “Osimhen is phenomenal because he runs alone at five players and gets through. If you look at genuine scoring opportunities, compared to the number Napoli created lately, I didn’t see that many.”

“We intentionally kept a deep defensive line, because if we pushed higher like the other teams, we’d concede four or five like they did with Osimhen able to run into space. Obviously, Napoli had more possession and attacked more, but this was an intentional approach.”

On Napoli, “Let us not forget we were facing the best team in Serie A right now, in an extraordinary period of form who put four or five goals past everyone lately.”

“If we take that into account, then Cagliari put in a splendid performance this evening. We tried to attack in the first half and created some chances, but we made an error on the marking, otherwise, the first half could easily have ended 0-0.”

“We were in control, waiting for the final push, but made a naïve mistake with the penalty and that knocked the wind out of our sails. I think Cagliari were solid, which we weren’t three days ago, so it was more or less the same performance against Lazio, except for the counter-attacks.”
