Spalletti Hails ‘Strong’ Osimhen

Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti has described Victor Osimhen as a “really strong player” after his performance led the team to demolish Udinese 4-0 in a Serie A fixture on Monday.

The Nigeria international scored his first Serie A goal of the season at Stadio Friuli in the 24th minute before Amir Rrahmani netted the second in the 35th minute, and Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly made it 3-0 in the 52nd minute with Hirving Lozano finishing the job in the 84th minute.

Osimhen’s goal came just three days after he helped Napoli to snatch a 2-2 draw against Leicester City in the Europa League fixture as he scored a brace at King Power Stadium.

“Our strength is our environment. We are overwhelmed with love that can become fuel for players,” Spalletti told DAZN.

“We have quality in attack. Victor (Osimhen) is really strong, he lacks quality in tight spaces, but it’s hard to catch him in open spaces.

“The wingers are outstanding in one vs. one situations. The road is still long and there are many tough opponents.”

On the win which saw the Partenopei move top of the table, Spalletti said, “The team’s performance makes me happy, the personality and the commitment we had for the whole match.

“It wasn’t only about the attitude, you also need the quality. Look at Insigne, who was able to do that lob while the goalkeeper was running towards him. Look at Lozano’s goal or Koulibaly’s personality. The team played well.”

On whether Napoli can go all the way to win the title, Spalletti said, “The season is still long, but the team has quality.”

“Perhaps, we lack those players who can allow us to make substitutions, keeping the team’s level high. And we need to be lasting, how many games can we play at this level? This will make the difference.

“Milan are very strong, Inter have worked well despite a couple of big sales. They brought important players in and they have a strong midfield.”
