Luciano Spalletti was full of praise for the unity in the Napoli squad after Giovanni Simeone came off the bench to beat Roma 2-1 and described Victor Osimhen as ‘the complete package’, Nigeriasoccernet.com can report
Osimhen scored perhaps the best goal of his Napoli career, control with his chest, then thigh before a volley into the roof of the net.
Since three points for a win were introduced in 1994-95, no team has been 13 points clear after just 20 rounds.
Spalletti however admitted his team had a tough night. “We didn’t have as much courage and quality as usual in moving the ball around tonight, so consequently that helped Roma with the high press. We also didn’t give Osimhen the right service, but he did well to find the spaces anyway.”
The former Inter Milan manager, Spalletti, then went ahead to blow the trumpet of his top scorer describing Osimhen as a “complete package.”
“There is everything in that goal, technical quality, character to juggle the ball between two defenders, then he hit this rocket into the net, as he really has got a cannon for a foot,” Spalletti told DANZ via Footballitalia.
“He has physical strength, accepts the challenge, tracks back to help, he is good in the air. He is the complete package.”
