Ahead of today’s Serie A game against Napoli, coach of Bologna Sinisa Mihajlovic says Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen is playing a bigger role in deciding the title race than Romelu Lukaku did last season with Inter Milan.
Inter Milan broke Juventus stronghold on the legaue title by winning it last season with many praising the goal contribution of Belgian forward Lukaku in the run up to the title.
Unbeaten in their first eight games of the season which includes seven wins, Osimhen has been pivotal in that run with five goals which includes a late winner against Torino. His form in front of goal has dominated discussion in Italy.
Despite firing blanks against Roma last weekend, Mihajlovic whose team will be up against the Nigerian later today warned the rest of the league teams that the Nigerian carries more threat than Lukaku did when he helped tilt the Serie A title in favour of Inter Milan.
On Napoli, do you agree if I say that Osimhen is shifting the balance like Lukaku last year?, the coach was asked ahead of today’s game.
“Even more. What do they eat in Naples? It seems that he has a scooter. He is ignorant, but in the good sense of the word: he runs, opens the game, restarts, scores. He is strong, I didn’t expect so much. But it’s true. who also paid 70 million for it “.
