Osimhen reveals best advice from coaches
Victor Osimhen’s best season so far in the top five European leagues came under Luciano Spalletti, under whom he won the Italian Serie A and Golden Boot. The striker shared the advice he got from the Italian during a session with Onah Kosi.
“Spalletti will tell me to be focused. I won't tell you how to play football. I only teach you the basics which I know you know. But stay focused. Do your job. Sweat for the badge. Sweat for your family. Be proud of yourself. But just do your job and be focused,” he said.
Gennaro Gattuso, who also coached him at Napoli was famous for being a tough player during his playing days and it reflects in the advice he gave Osimhen.
“Gattuso said to me ‘Hey, in this game, I want you to destroy them. Destroy them. Bleed if you have to bleed, but get the result and be proud of yourself.’ But I think it's not just me. I know he says to the other, you know, to the other guys,” he added.
Osimhen currently plays under Okan Buruk at Galatasaray and Eric Chelle in the national team, and he disclosed what the Franco-Malian told him.

“Eric Chelle will say you are one of the best strikers in the world. You are one of the best strikers in the world. Now go out there and show them why I say you're one of the best strikers in the world,” he said.
“I mean, yes, but he said to me, you know, and he would say go there, do your job, let them know the reason why you are one of the best.”
The 2023 African Footballer of the Year added that other coaches have said inspirational words to him before and after matches, but above all, he is his own first motivator.
