Victor Osimhen took his revenge on Hellas Verona‘s coach Igor Tudor, who had claimed that the Nigerian striker was not as strong as Dusan Vlahovic.
The Croatian tactician was asked whether Osimhen was the best striker in Serie A on the eve of yesterday’s match at the Stadio Bentegodi. “No, no,” he said. “Vlahovic is the best and he [Osimhen] is among the strongest.”
A bit like Michael Jordan in the Netflix series ‘The Last Dance’, Osimhen ‘took it personally’ and took his revenge by scoring a decisive brace against the Gialloblu.

The 23-year-old broke the deadlock after just 14 minutes and scored the winner at minute 71. He has now scored nine goals in 19 Serie A matches, 13 in 24 appearances across all competitions.
He was affected by a cheekbone injury sustained in an away clash against Inter at the end of November, forcing him to the sidelines for almost two months. Tudor may not change his mind about who the best Serie A striker is, but Osimhen continues to be decisive for Napoli with the Partenopei’s title hopes still alive.
numbers talk, and Osimhen number proves that he is below Vlahovic
Osimhen is far more complete then Vlahovic…..Vlahovic maybe more goalscoring but Osimhen has it all ande makes a team certainly more complete i think Napoli has gold in hands and will make u huge profit….
Faraoni could sink them like last season week 38 🙂
You’ve got to hand it to Faraoni, he did his best to look the fool just like you @Forza Juve.
Osimhen has played fewer games and has been injured much of the season,furthermore he is constantly being held,tripped elbowed and harrased etc, often w/o his opponents being penalalized. Once this young man gets his emotions under control he will be a true force, so beware all especially the Northern Giants. Oh wait ,maybe Juve will try to buy him as well, theyv’e bought every other young player in Italy.
What fool, he yesterday scored 1 goal, and last year he scored against napoli goal which alowed juve to play in champions league, and you are fool if talking only for that last minute handball, fool Mal DiTesta. Juve now is in CL only because of faraoni and I will never forget this name!
