By Saheed Afolabi

Napoli boss, Rudi Garcia has charged Victor Osimhen to work on his defensive ability.

The Nigeria forward was on target twice against Frosinone in the Serie A despite not attaining full match fitness.

The Partenopei manager, Garcia isn’t convinced with Osimhen’s brace against Frosinone as be believes the striker can do better.

He said Osimhen’s greatest quality lies in his leadership skills.

“Offensively, he was excellent. He scored two goals and there’s nothing I can tell him,” Garcia was quoted by Brila FM.

“Defensively, I didn’t like him at all and I told him during the break. He used to press more and defend better in the past. We changed this thing in the second half and we played with more quality.

“I knew he wasn’t fit to play 90 minutes, but we waited for his second goal. He’s a leader and this will never change, it’s his strong point.”

Osimhen will return to action in Napoli next game against Sassuolo on Sunday August 27.
