Juventus defense Giorgio Chiellini has admitted the difficulties he encountered in trying to keep Napoli forward Victor Osimhen in check during their 2-1 win in a rescheduled Serie A game.
Napoli record signing Osimhen who has had a mixed season with injuries and a failed coronavirus test reducing his impact this season still showed what he is made up against Juventus.
Although he failed to get himself on the score sheet, his introduction ten minutes after the break sparked Napoli to live as he led their quest for a way back into the game which sadly ended in futility.
Chiellini who gave away a penalty following a foul on Osimhen late into the game said the Nigerian was a different kind of striker to cope with as he plays with strength, pace and skills.
“ It was a different approach late into the game with Osimhen difficult to handle with his pace, strength and skills. His introduction caused all sorts of problems for us but we coped at the end”, Chiellini said.
