Shortly after Victor Osimhen lashed out at Ademola Lookman during a match, a young man suggested that the alleged feud between the two Super Eagles players had come to an end.
He based his view on a post shared by Lookman on his Instagram page, which appeared to signal unity between the teammates.
Following this development, Legit.ng reached out to a sports analyst to get his opinion on the situation.
Asked whether Ademola Lookman handled the issue well, sports analyst Footbolmatter shared his thoughts.
He said,
“Did Lookman handle the situation well with his post? Yes, definitely. He handled it very well and in a very positive way. I watched his interview where he was asked about the issue with Osimhen, and he said Osimhen is his brother.
“Then going on social media and posting together sends a very strong signal that there is no rift between the two of them. That was a very mature thing to do."
“As I said earlier, imagine a scenario where immediately after the match, Osimhen had gone to hug Lookman, laughed it off with him, and then both of them went in front of the fans to clap and thank them. That would have clearly shown that it was just an emotional outburst and not a personal issue."
“As a leader, you are expected to manage moments like that better. If he had done that, he would have solved two problems at once. He would have apologized to his teammate and also reassured the fans."
“In that case, anyone trying to make an issue out of what happened on the pitch would have had no ground to stand on. So I must say Lookman handled the situation very well, even more than I expected.”
The analyst also explained why it is important for players to quickly resolve disagreements, especially in a team setting.
He said,
“It is very important to settle issues quickly, especially when it happens in front of the public, whether global or local audiences. Doing so helps maintain team unity, and unity is very important in a competition like this."
“It also protects the image of the team. Other teams are watching, and when they see issues like this, they may think there is no harmony or that there is unhealthy competition within the squad."
“Quickly resolving issues also reduces media speculation. Like I said earlier, if the issue had been settled immediately, we would not even be talking about it now."
“That is why it is always better to address and resolve such matters as quickly as possible.”
