Jose Mourinho, the manager of Roma, has praised Victor Osimhen’s ability to take half-chances.
On Sunday night, the Super Eagles striker scored the only goal as Napoli defeated Mourinho’s men 1-0.
The Partenopei have now won ten consecutive games, making them Europe’s most in-form team.
They had scored 32 goals in those games, a rich average of more than three goals per game, but against Roma, Luciano Spalletti unexpectedly pressed a button.
The manager of Napoli chose Osimhen over Giacomo Raspadori to start the Serie A match.
After receiving a route-one pass from Mateo Politano, Osimhen wrestled off Chris Smalling’s grip before delivering a stunner from the most impossible of angles.
“We have to be more decisive upfront, what lodges into the statistics are the shots on goal.
“Then I also look at the half opportunities, those that you have to transform into opportunities as Osimhen did,” Mourinho told DAZN after the game.
