Emanuele Giaccherrini shocked by Victor Osimhen

Emanuele Giaccherini, former soccer player and pundit for Dazn, commented to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli on the Azzurri’s victory in Monza, and in particular Victor Osimhen’s goal. "We è saw again the Napoli of the Scudetto – he stressed -, in the interval Calzona must have touched the right chords and the spirit of champions. In the resumption, in fact, Napoli played with nastiness and with that quality that the team has in its legs enhancing the characteristics of individuals".

"Osimhen’s goal freed the team mentally, è it was the spark that triggered something in the team – he added -. Goals like the Nigerian’s do few footballers in the world, it reminded me of Cristiano Ronaldo’s with Sampdoria, è he soared into the sky and his elevation è was sensational. Yesterday’s second half makes you realize how much this team could have done and how much unfortunately it didn’t, becauseé it could have easily played it out until the end".

"Conte in the future of Napoli? Napoli could return to being a protagonist, becauseé he would bring that mentality&eagrave; that is needed to achieve great goals, but I would see him well at Napoli only if the great champions remained. But if you have to rebuild and you don’t aim to win right away then I don’t know if he can be the right choice" concluded Giaccherini.
