Coach of Napoli Gennaro Gattuso has played down the back to back hattrick of Nigeria international forward Victor Osimhen in the two pre season games the team has played so far.
Osimhen followed up his hattrick against L’aquila with another in their 4-0 thrashing of Teramo earlier today. The goal took his pre season goal count to six in two games.
While the striker has been earning praises for the way he has been prolific in front of goal , Gattuso played it down by saying the goals didn’t carry much weight as other things he has seen in the 21 year old .
He said Osimhen need to continue to work hard and not rest on his pre season achievement , he however stressed that the way he has integrated into the squad is the most important thing he has seen so far.
“ Osimhen needs to keep working hard and never to be satisfied, these goals count for nothing. What’s important is that he’s already integrated into the group, joking and laughing”, he said after the game.
