Bologna's Riccardo Calafiori didn't mince words when he described Victor Osimhen's playing style as nothing short of annoying.


This revelation came after Bologna clinched a 2-0 victory against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday evening, where Osimhen, the Super Eagles' striker, struggled to find his scoring rhythm.


Throughout the match, Calafiori found himself in a constant face-off with Osimhen, the prolific Napoli striker.


Despite the formidable challenge, the young Italian defender managed to limit Osimhen's opportunities, allowing him only one shot on target.


Despite Osimhen's impressive prowess, he could only muster 30 touches throughout the game, a testament to Calafiori's defensive capabilities.


One pivotal moment in the match came when Napoli was awarded a penalty after Osimhen was fouled inside the box. However, Matteo Politano failed to convert the penalty, squandering Napoli's chance to narrow the scoreline.


During a break in the action, Calafiori candidly shared his thoughts with reporters, acknowledging the difficulty of facing Osimhen on the field.


In an interview with DAZN via Napoli Magazine, he stated, "We are playing a very good match, we have to stay like this and I also have to maintain concentration against Osimhen who is really annoying."


Calafiori's admission sheds light on the challenges defenders face when confronting world-class strikers like Osimhen.
