My eyes have seen Victor Osimhen in all his glory, hallelujah hallelujah!

The Nigerian striker scored his 14th Serie A purpose in entrance of a packed Napoli crowd because the Tifosi prolonged their league on the desk.

NAPLES – On the day that the Lord shall come, we will behold his glory and we will sing, hallelujah, hallelujah in reward. Tonight, I beheld the bodily manifestation of that biblical expertise. I noticed Victor Osimhen in his glory, and my hearts sings, hallelujah!

What a efficiency, what a purpose, such confidence and aplomb with which this younger Nigerian brother caresses the ball and strikes it into goalposts that it leaves defenders and goalkeepers afraid of going through him.

Contained in the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Napoli, I beheld the glory of Osimhen in all its marvel. I noticed the gang name his title out from the stands earlier than the sport, I watched him reply to them with a wave of appreciation, I watched him heat up, I noticed his pictures bother his personal goalkeeper, and I knew that no weapon customary towards him within the type of a goalkeeper might cease his shot on day.

And when the sport started, he took his time to worm into the encounter. However when he did, it was hearth. Napoli know who to name upon to ship the products, the postman at all times delivers, Victor at all times solutions the decision.

Our fathers instructed tales of how the legendary Thunder Balogun struck balls by goalkeepers in a fairy story world way back, I dare say that Patricio would have suffered the destiny of these goalkeepers if he had gotten in the way in which of Osimhen’s thunderbolt.

Inside the web, as we are saying in Naija. Osimhen had put the Neapolitans forward. The ultras and everybody contained in the stadium screamed out in pleasure. They had been witnessing one other chapter of the glory. For me, it was a primary time. It’s a totally different expertise to observe Osimhen on TV. To witness the glory in individual is unimaginable.

In Osimhen, like Gabriel Okara wrote, I see a panther at all times able to pounce. He was at all times on the necks of the defenders, saved them busy all through the sport. The one respite that they had was when he fell on the ground having taken a foul deal with to his ankle. And as he bought able to return after remedy, Mourinho stated some phrases to him on the sideline. It have to be one thing actually outstanding to have the ability to pat in appreciation the participant who’s doing all your crew soiled, from the Particular One to a different simply as particular.

The second half was a bit harder as Osimhen suffered extra irritating tackles on his ankle and he can be handed a yellow card by referee Daniele Orsato for his personal deal with. Roma equalized within the 75^thminute by substitute Stephan el Shaarawy as Osimhen was additionally taken off by Luciano Spalletti. The Nigerian had taken sufficient tackles that might have left weaker males stretcher-bound.

Victor had achieved his half. It was left to substitute Giovanni Simeone to win the sport for the Tifosi with a luxurious strike simply contained in the field to make it 2-1. On the sidelines Osimhen screamed at his colleagues to remain alert and defend the lead. Even when he was out of the sport, he couldn’t keep out of it.
