I am very happy to win and qualify for the semi-finals.” He highlighted the positive mindset within the team, crediting coach Jose Peseiro’s excellent outlook on the team’s project.
Despite facing criticism for missed opportunities, Osimhen’s dedication shines through as he embraces both scoring and defensive responsibilities.
He emphasized, “I have the mentality that if I do not score, I will go back to defending, and if I score a goal, I will also go back to defending this goal.” Osimhen recognizes the significance of the moment, expressing gratitude for being part of the Super Eagles and urging the team to capitalize on their strong start to reach the final.
