The atmosphere in Naples has been like a knife in recent days.
Victor Osimhen’s coach threatened to sue the club after publishing a video on Napoli’s official TikTok application in which he mocked the team’s star, and the player himself did not hide his dissatisfaction with coach Rudi Garcia in the last match.
This Wednesday, the day of the match against Udinese, the Nigerian striker ignored three of his teammates upon his arrival at the training camp of the Neapolitans.
All eyes will be on Victor Osimhen, who has not only been called up, but also featured at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona in the starting line-up. It only took a short time to understand the player’s state of mind.
In the 19th minute, he refused to advance to the eleventh mark, as he had failed a few days earlier in a 0-0 draw with Bologna, a moment that was the origin of the video in which he felt ridiculed.
In the 39th minute, he came face to face with the visiting team’s goalkeeper, making the score 2-0. He started celebrating in a very restrained way, but then accepted a hug from his teammates, and Mario Rui was the first to reach him, freeing himself.
In the 62nd minute, with the score still 2-0, Osimhen was substituted and received a standing ovation from the Napoli fans, who saw the Italian champion score two more goals: by Kvaratskhelia, who makes his debut in 2023/24. And Giovanni Simeone instead of Victor Osimhen.
In the middle, Samardzic scored the only goal of the match for Udine, after passing half of Napoli’s goal. This is in…Diego Maradona’s house.
Napoli occupies fifth place in the Italian League with 11 points, 4 points behind Inter and Milan, who occupy the first two places.
