Napoli manger, Luciano Spalletti has explained why Victor Osimhen is now better than he was.
Osimhen was impressive last night as the Partenopei sealed a place on the quarter-finals in fine fashion, after thrashing Bundesliga club, Eintracht Frankfurt in both legs.
He scored a brace last night in a 3-0 win.
The Nigeria international also scored in the first leg, Spalletti’s side won the Round of 16 contest 5-0 on aggregate.
Osimhen opened the scoring from a tap in from close range late in the first half, then he double his tally at the 53rd minute with a towering header set up by their captain Giovanni Did Lorenzo.
“He is an excellent striker who can be a bit of a soloist and makes these sudden surges, but he also has to combine with the rest of the team. He is starting to do that now and we are very happy,” Spalletti told Sky Italia after the game.
Osimhen has now scored 23 goals in 28 appearances across all competitions for Napoli this season.
