Francesco Calzona, the manager of Napoli, has expressed his satisfaction with Victor Osimhen’s recent performances, noting that the Nigerian striker is gradually regaining his top form.
Osimhen showcased his prowess by scoring a hat-trick in Napoli’s commanding 6-1 victory over Sassuolo on Wednesday night, further proving his importance to the team.
Calzona acknowledged Osimhen’s challenges in maintaining his fitness after participating in the Africa Cup of Nations but praised his determination to rediscover his form. He also commended Kvicha Kvaratskhelia’s contribution to the team’s success.
Reflecting on the team’s performance, Calzona highlighted the positive attitude and dedication of the players during training sessions, which he believes contributed to their impressive display on the pitch.
Osimhen played a significant role in the game, featuring for 76 minutes before being substituted for Giovanni Simeone. With 13 goals and four assists in 21 appearances across all competitions this season, Osimhen continues to be a pivotal figure for Napoli.
