'He almost cried' - Galatasaray icon blown away by Osimhen's passion and winning mentality
Published: March 08, 2025
Galatasaray icon and football pundit Tanju Çolak has praised Victor Osimhen’s incredible drive and hunger for success, highlighting the Nigerian forward’s emotional reaction after a recent match.
In quotes relayed by habersarikirmizi.com, Çolak was particularly impressed with Osimhen’s attitude following Galatasaray’s 3-3 draw against Kasımpaşa.
"I saw Victor Osimhen after the Kasımpaşa match, he was almost in tears with sadness. Which football player has this ambition and determination? Tell me," Çolak remarked.
Osimhen, known for his relentless work ethic and never-say-die spirit, has consistently shown his commitment to winning.
Despite facing challenges in adapting to Galatasaray and the Turkish Süper Lig, the Nigerian star’s emotional response after the Kasımpaşa game underscores his desire to succeed at the highest level.
Galatasaray’s inconsistent form has been a topic of discussion among fans and pundits alike.
The team is in a tight race for the Süper Lig title, with rivals Fenerbahçe pushing hard in the competition.
Çolak, a former Golden Boot winner, believes that Osimhen’s emotional response is proof of his winning mentality, something that every top club needs.
Osimhen has been known for his relentless work rate and fighting spirit throughout his career.
Whether at Napoli, where he played a crucial role in their Serie A triumph, or now at Galatasaray, his desire to succeed has never been in doubt.
His reaction to the Kasımpaşa result suggests he holds himself to high standards and demands the same from his teammates.
With Galatasaray set to face Alanyaspor in their next league fixture, Osimhen will be eager to channel his emotions into a strong performance.
The club’s supporters will be hoping that his passion and commitment can inspire the team to get back on track in their pursuit of domestic glory.
