Mario Balotelli disappointed with Victor Osimhen over Napoli’s Tiktok troll decision

Mario Balotelli has taken issue with Super Eagles sensation Victor Osimhen’s decision to relinquish penalty duties for Napoli.

The former Liverpool striker discussed Napoli’s TikTok video, which mocked Osimhen, and the player’s subsequent choice not to play the penalty against Udinese.

Although, the Nigerian international was part of the goalscorers in Napoli’s 4-1 win over Udinese in the Italian Serie A on Wednesday, September 27 but he opted out when his team had a penalty in the match.

Meanwhile, the reason for his decision can be traced back to the ongoing issue he has with the club over a controversial TikTok video after he missed a penalty in a previous match against Bologna.

The former Manchester City star expressed his disappointment in Osimhen’s decision.

“That video is meaningless. Victor has a personality; there’s no denying that,” Balotelli told TV Play.

“The goal he scores is complicated, don’t think it’s easy. Didn’t he rejoice? He did well; he copies me.

“Osimhen is a friend of mine; I greet him. But in the penalty miss against Udinese, he disappointed me a bit. He should have kicked and not Zielinski.”
