Napoli's manager, Rudi Garcia, holds high hopes that Victor Osimhen will overcome his recent goal drought in their upcoming Champions League clash against SC Braga.
Victor Osimhen
While Osimhen began the 2023/24 season impressively, scoring in Napoli's first two games, he has faced challenges in finding the net in their recent league matches against Lazio and Genoa.
Garcia expressed his confidence in Osimhen's ability to return to scoring form, recognizing the obstacles Osimhen has encountered, including an injury during preseason that disrupted his progress.
The manager stated, "Osimhen started well with two goals in three games, and we hope he can get back on target." He emphasized the need for Osimhen to remain calm, focused, and to enjoy his football, noting that even providing assists, as he did against Sassuolo, would be a valuable contribution.
Garcia highlighted the significance of the Champions League, emphasizing that every player aspires to participate in the tournament and hinting at Osimhen's potential impact in the competition.
In the previous UEFA Champions League season, Osimhen made a significant impact for Napoli, scoring five goals. Despite their strong performance, the team was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Serie A rivals AC Milan.
