Victor Osimhen has once again reiterated his desire to give his best to Galatasaray, Media Talk Africa reports.
Osimhen fired a brace to help Galatasaray beat Fenerbahce 2-1 in the quarter-final of the Turkish Cup on Wednesday night.
The forward fired a thunderous shot inside the box to give Okan Buruk’s side the lead in the 10th minute.
He scored his second of the game from the penalty spot 17 minutes later.
“As I have said in previous interviews, I have really loved this club since I came here, I loved the people here, I loved the fans. I want to reciprocate their love by working hard. My teammates are also very important to me,” the Nigeria international told the club’s official website.
“They always support me. Of course, scoring a goal in the derby was important. If my teammates had not done very important things, I would not have been able to score those goals. I am grateful to them in this regard. I want to continue my performance. I want to do everything I can for the team.”
Galatasaray lost 2-1 to another Istanbul rival, Besiktas in a league match last weekend.
Osimhen said the players were disappointed with the outcome and were determined to compensate their fans.
“We know that Galatasaray – Fenerbahçe matches are intense and difficult matches. It is necessary to focus from the first minute to the ninetieth minute. We were actually optimistic when we came.
“Unfortunately, we made our fans unhappy last week. We had to play well here to compensate for them. Now we will look at the upcoming matches and progress match by match,” he said.
