Salernitana manager Stefano Colantuono has described Victor Osimhen as “extraordinary player” ahead of yesterday’s match against Napoli at Arechi Stadium in Salerno.
Nigeria international Osimhen has been influential for the Naples charges this season, starting each of the last eight Serie A matches and scoring five goals in the process.
“Osimhen is an extraordinary player, but Napoli are a very strong team, which deserves great consideration,” Colantuono said as quoted by Area Napoli.
“They are living. a moment of grace, they have won almost all of [league matches this season] and we can’t do anything wrong otherwise they will punish us.
“We will try to play with our characteristics, working in the details that will make the difference. Napoli, together with Milan, are the strongest [in the league].”
The 59-year-old has further commented on their opponent’s attack that has so far scored in nine of the 10 league matches. The tactician has hinted they will not be sitting back to defend.
“Napoli attack in many ways. They have depth, dribble, jump the man, have a center forward that is difficult to limit. If you enhance his characteristics he is a striker who puts not Salernitana in crisis, but the whole championship,” Colantuono continued.
“Isn’t it a shame to stoop to protect the goal? No team has had a bold attitude against them.”
