Former Sporting Charleroi Coach Points Out The Strengths And Weaknesses Of Osimhen

Published: June 05, 2020

Former Sporting Charleroi manager Felice Mazzù has highlighted the main strengths and weaknesses of Victor Osimhen, one of the most coveted Nigerian players at the moment.

Having coached the Super Eagles rising star during his loan spell in Belgium last season, Mazzù knows what makes Osimhen tick and where he needs to improve as a striker.

On Osimhen's strengths, Mazzu said to TuttoNapoli : "His great talent is explosiveness, he has incredible physical strength.

"He knows how to play with his head, he always makes the right choice in front of the goal, he can walk all over the field and score.

"And then he has another great quality: security. He is not afraid of anything."

Last season, Osimhen managed four assists spread across 34 league matches and Mazzu stopped short of labeling him a selfish player but noted that he has started to improve in that area.

Per Whoscored, the Lille number 7 provided the same number of assists in the league this term and played seven games less.

"At Charleroi he had to learn to think less of himself and more of the team. He often became stubborn with solitary actions, but having followed him to Lille I think he has already improved.

"Often it also depends on age. More grow and mature," said Mazzu on Osimhen's flaws.
