5 goals in 8 days, Victor Osimhen shine on for Napoli.

Once again the great protagonist at Naples was Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian footballer scored a brace in the away match against Sampdoria.

Napoli crushed Sampdoria, 4-0, on Thursday, a victory that took them back to the top of the Serie-A table with 15 points from their first five league games under Luciano Spalletti.

The on form forward has now scored five goals in his last three games for Napoli in the space of eight days.

Speaking to DAZN after the game, Osimhen said: “Starting well gives me confidence to score other goals. I am happy with my performance, but a little sorry for what happened last year between Covid-19 and the injuries. It is important to speak on the pitch, but not only in matches, also in training. We need to calibrate ourselves on when to come and take in midfield, on the movements, it is important to communicate ”.

Osimhen also spoke clearly of the importance of Spalletti in his professional moment: “He helped me with the trust he gave me and I hope to repay it. I am honored to have a coach like him. He gives me a lot, he stops after training and we work a lot together ”.

Napoli will welcome Cagliari next week while Sampdoria visit Juventus who sit 12th on the table just above the Sampdoria on goal difference.
