Victor Osimhen has broken his silence regarding his behavior in yesterday’s match, explaining that his intensity stems from the immense expectations placed on him by Nigerian fans.
The striker noted that after Nigeria failed to qualify for the last World Cup, he bore the brunt of the criticism.
He emphasized that even with a comfortable lead, the team cannot afford to lose focus, as “5 goals can be scored in 3 minutes.”
Osimhen also cleared the air regarding Ademola Lookman, calling him a “brother” who understands that their on-field interactions are fueled purely by a shared desire to win the AFCON trophy.
