Super Eagles’ weapon of mass destruction, Victor Osimhen has told Corriere della Sera that he knew right from onset that the current crop of Napoli players will win this season’s Scudetto, iwitnesslive.com can report.
Osimhen has continued to be a nightmare to opposing defenders and goalkeepers alike in the Italian Serie A this season, scoring 19 league goals from 20 appearances, thus making him the favourite to win the golden boot.
“We are in March and there is still some time to go. But yes, I want it all, we want it all,” he said.
“We are giving our lives to achieve this level of success. We deserve it and we are sacrificing everything to achieve it.
“We’re almost there, but we can’t afford to let ourselves get distracted right now. Our mentality is always the same, in Italy and Europe: impose ourselves on the opposition and win.”
He then showered encomium on his strike partner, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for his selfless contribution this season.
“There has been empathy from the very first moment. He’s a strong player, but also a great person, and this, to me, counts,” said the striker.
“We take care of each other, at all times. We rely on one another and if someone is having trouble, we are ready to lend a hand. There is solidarity, it’s difficult to explain to those who don’t experience it,” he said.
“Everyone’s belief is a benefit to the team as a collective. And when you believe in yourself, you feel strong and when you are strong you win. Then there is the coach, who is the nucleus of the team.
