Serie A: What Mourinho said about Osimhen after Napoli’s 1-0 win over Roma
By Adeleye Kunle
Roma manager, Jose Mourinho has hailed Victor Osimhen’s ability to take half chances.
The Super Eagles striker scored the only goal as Napoli beat Mourinho’s men 1-0 on Sunday night.
A run of 10 consecutive victories has now made the Partenopei Europe’s most in-form team.
They had scored 32 goals in those games, a rich average of more than three goals per game but against Roma, Luciano Spalletti hit a button quite unexpectedly.
The Napolo manager picked Osimhen over Giacomo Raspadori to start the Serie A clash
Fed with a route-one ball from Mateo Politano, Osimhen wrestled off the holding Chris Smalling before delivering a stunner from the most impossible 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 Track News after the game
