Napoli’s manager, Rudi Garcia, recently weighed in on the current situation involving Victor Osimhen and the club. Expressing the team’s frustration with their result against Bologna, Garcia mentioned that he had a conversation with the forward player. He firmly believes that Victor Osimhen is now fully focused on contributing to the club’s success this season. Osimhen silenced his critics by netting the second goal in Napoli’s impressive 4-1 victory over Udinese on Wednesday, September 27, 2023.
Garcia acknowledged the team’s frustration after the draw against Bologna and the distractions caused by some social media activity in the last two days. However, his conversation with Victor has emphasized the importance of the player’s commitment to the team’s goals. Garcia stated, “It’s key to have him focused on the game, and he’s determined to give his best for Napoli.”
Earlier, Napoli had posted a TikTok video on their official account, playfully poking fun at Osimhen for missing a penalty in the Serie A match against Bologna. This decision had led to Osimhen’s frustration, but he has since apologized to his teammates and the manager for his reaction.
