Osimhen is not a selfish player
Proper team player

You know ball. A lot of strikers will try to take shots from those positions where he just creates a simple pass to assist...

Even in his team there are a lot of players like that - simple pass to a free player, they'll opt to shoot.

COOL10:
Cyriel Dessers got another assist today. He now has 7 goals and 3 assists in 10 appearances for Rangers this season. 😎

Nah, he didn't assist bro... He didn't score either, but he has a very good game.

Galatasaray's head coach on Victor Osimhen yet to score after three matches.

“Victor Osimhen’s game is very important. Not everything is about scoring goals. You score goals, but you lose the game, when he sees the net, he passes the ball to the closest player. If he focused only on scoring goals, it could be different. He fights a lot during the game. He suits us very well as a player and a person. It is very valuable to have him with us.”

I'll be here when the goals start pouring in... 🌧️🌧️🌧️

Lookman is selfish. Osimhen, very selfless.

Osimhen needs. Urgent. Prayers and help


4 goals at AFCON disallowed

PSG move fail

Chelsea. Deal. Fail

First Galatasary. Goal awarded to another

This. Guy needs urgent intervention

Imagine not been on CAF. Rader when he is still the reigning. AFOY


FIFA balondor. Did consider. Him

Napoli boo. Him out


Omo no be. .....hmmm

I am Victor's biggest fan, but I think one of the reasons all this is happening is because he has ridden on the hype a little too much.

Osimhen has nothing to prove anymore, he already has the accolades to back himself up. He needs to stop trying to meet up to the bloated hype/expectations people have of him, which only adds pressure to himself. Case in point, first Gala game, trying so hard and celebrating/claiming Bardakci's goal. Celebrating assists and own goals like he dribbled past ten players to score, etc.

We love him enough that whether he scores on his debut or not, whether he scores every game or not, we are still behind him. He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone anymore, so he should reduce the stress and expectations he puts on himself, and have fun playing football. He is good enough that the goals will come. He doesn't need to score in every game to maintain his value, he just needs to score with the next chance in front of him.

Luckily, irrespective of all this, his game is still very unselfish, which speaks so much of his personality and play style. But putting that much pressure on yourself will make it inevitable at some point that your teammates might start to resent you for trying to 'steal' the spotlight.

This is why I love Victor Boniface so much. He very firmly positions himself as the underdog, as the 'second' Victor, as the unserious comedian. This is because as the underdog, people have reduced expectations of you, so you have a higher margin of error which you can use to make mistakes and gain experience necessary to improve on your game. But if you watch him slowly, his game is getting exponentially better. The improvements in his playstyle from Bodo -> USG -> Leverkusen first year -> Leverkusen second year are honestly mindblowing. See his two goals against Hoffenheim for instance. He wouldn't have taken those shots from those positions two years ago (and the second goal even as close as last year). His dribbling in tight spaces is getting refined, his stamina is improving, his hold up play is getting more mature, he is losing the ball less than before. All these are improvements from his game last season that he is slowly getting better at, and doing so away from the spotlight and the pressure of being the 'first' Victor. I wonder what he will look like in 2-3 years time.

well you are welcome back home anytime
wish you the best bro

Maybe Mikel's words got to him. I also feel Bassey and Iwobi played their roles too inin convincing him. No need to wait till you are 30 like Shola Amoebi. Join the Super Eagles now while you still have time!

He has nothing to prove after having one great season? Do you think SAF will be referred as the Epl coaching GOAT if he didn’t win multiple Epl titles? Osi has a lot to prove like winning the ANC, helping Nigeria qualify for the World Cup, win another major league title and in addition to that, possibly win the champions league. My friend, he has all to prove.

What happened to the beach team?

They defeated Mauritania in the first leg of their qualifiers and we didn't hear about them again.

Mauritania beat them here in Nigeria .

Mauritania beat them here in Nigeria .

So they are out?

Subzerooo:
Adarabioyo and Tammy Abraham are two fools that have used Nigeria as bait but English FA are not looking there way, don't be surprised if he's playing these tricks ahead of the International window

Adarabioyo was never an upgrade to balogun and ekong we never looked his way to be honest

We’re considering him now because ekong don’t have much years left and Bassey is great all aggression and no brain

Adarabioyo is not an upgrade

I’m glad we never got Tammy A or else we would have lost out of Lord osimenh

Nomyth:


So they are out?

Yes. They won on aggregate, but Mauritania scored more goals away, that's why they got eliminated.

BankyGee:

So painful.

This is another of our national team I love so much. We could be world beaters in beach soccer cuz the raw talent is there, we once took Brazil to the cleaners.

Seems we've regressed badly allowing Senegal to become so dominant and now losing to even Mauritania.

Seems you label Bassey world class

Bassey is slightly above average and his physicality is unparalleled and that’s all he has going for him

You see those silly mistakes he makes them but not as frequently as before e.g Ajax era

I I’ll watch Fulham match ahead of my Man U that’s how much I love Bassey and iwobi but denying his flaws only show that you’re biased asf

In Super E colors or Fulham he makes average player mistakes so don’t stand here and judge like his world class so calm down

I disagree with you.Bassey has some assists in super Eagles colours, with his last assist coming in the last AFCON.

He deserves some respect.

Every sports sector in Nigeria is just falling apart, but we'll surely bounce back.

Assists is different from amateurs mistakes

But don’t excuse Bassey errors please

Some of una be like retards how are assists make you a better defender

Is like saying frimpong is a great defender because he assist wtf

Bitterness makes you think I hate Bassey

Only osimenh and iwobi na I like pass Bassey
Na who I they watch and love na i they talk about

But the fact that you guys don’t want to talk about his mistakes show how one sided your views are

elyte89:

His physicality is comparable to 2016 Ramos

But his decision making sometimes especially aerial balls are not convincing

Victor Moses scores his first goal for Luton Town against Plymouth Argyle

MasterShanghai:

I'm sorry but Vic Boniface isn't really smart, yes he's a talanted player, but he just lacks that fundamental basic education and situational intelligence football players need to avoid saying dumb things on the media that could affect their careers. Does he actually have a PR media person that advices him on some of these silly rhetorics he does? He really needs to STFU and focus on his football.

He alone the Bashir Ahmed the former president Media manager raise a petition on his post about "aboki" , at least that one he deleted it after they called him out. He alone will show the Bleep you sign to the opponent bench in the name of cruise. He keeps setting precedences. There will be a time he might have to eat his own words.

Adarabioyo is not just an upgrade but a high step 🪜 up from bang average defenders we have.

Balogun and Ekong have NEVER been as good as Tosin at any time in their careers
