Sacchi Blasts Osimhen For Poor Show Against Barca
Victor Osimhen received criticism from former Italy head coach Arigo Sacchi for his subpar performance during Napoli’s Tuesday night loss to Barcelona.
After losing to Xavi’s team 3-1, the Serie A winners were ousted from the UEFA winners League.
Napoli was defeated 4-2 overall in the Round of 16 match.
Napoli’s lone goal in the first leg was scored by Osimhen, but in the second game, rookie Pau Cubarsi outmuscled him.
During the entire game, the Nigerian international was only able to get one shot on goal.
The least amount of participation from Kvara and Osimhen—the two most anticipated players—surprised me the most, Sacchi said in his La Gazzetta dello Sport column.
It’s true that they didn’t receive much help, but they also didn’t move very much and did it poorly, which made it simple for opponents to stop them.
