Napoli’s Victor Osimhen has emphasized the significance of commencing their Serie A title defense with a resounding victory.
The Partenopei, despite conceding an early goal, showcased their resilience and secured a splendid 3-1 triumph against Frosinone at the illustrious Stadio Benito Stirpe on Saturday.
Osimhen, who has been in stellar form in the Italian top-flight, reinforced his prowess by scoring two goals during the match.
Reflecting on the team’s outstanding performance, the 24-year-old striker extended warm congratulations to his teammates.
“Initiating the season on a positive note was vital. Congratulations to the entire team,” Osimhen expressed in an interview with DAZN.
“Our opponents posed a formidable challenge as they have proven to be a formidable side. However, we have a remarkably talented squad, and I am elated with this significant victory. Scoring two goals fills me with joy, and it is crucial that we sustain this momentum,” he added.
Osimhen has consistently received immense praise from manager Rudi Garcia throughout the summer.
Garcia recently drew comparisons between the Nigerian international and Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 24-year-old football prodigy deeply appreciates the unwavering support received from the Frenchman.
“What more can I say? The coach’s belief in me holds profound significance, and it is equally essential for me to repay his trust by delivering exceptional performances on the pitch,” Osimhen stated.
“Every member of the team possesses leadership qualities, and it is our collective responsibility to take charge. We have incredible talents like Di Lorenzo, our captain, Mario Rui, and Meret. As I mentioned previously, we are a unified cohort striving for continuous improvement,” he emphasized.
