Former Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has named Victor Osimhen as one of the toughest opponents he came up against during his active days.

Chiellini recently announced his retirement from the round leather game.

The 39-year-old enjoyed an illustrious career that saw him featured for top clubs in Serie A including Juventus, Fiorentina and Livorno.

The former centre-back featured in over 700 games in the Italian top-flight.

Chiellini came up against several top strikers during his career, and acknowledged Osimhen as one of his most difficult opponents.

“Which attacker bothered me more? Honestly, I marked Lautaro well, Osimhen a little worse. I was struggling more,”he was quoted by Tutto Napoli.

“I was at the end of my career with both of them; after the knee operation, I suffered from it and I couldn’t hold it any longer.”

Chiellini however offered tips on how to stop Osimhen.

“How do you stop Osimhen? You let him take the ball towards you, which isn’t dangerous,” he stated.

“Even if he turns, he doesn’t bother me and when he gets to the area I’m on top of him and don’t let him breathe. It’s difficult for the ball to enter the net on its own; they always score the goals; Osimhen scores them, not Zielinski in the third half. If Politano then scores from 30 meters I’ll tell him well done, but it doesn’t happen very often.”

I am excited for the young man Osimhen.
You could literally tell that he is as young as he claims going by his looks while playing for the under 17. He was such a baby.
This means he has many more playing years to achieve greater feats.
However i pray he leaves his current club and go where he would be appreciated and recognised.

I watch sadly how the fans in Italy give more credit to Kwaraa.

Even his recent assist was much talked about by Africans, they won't know his worth until he leaves. And osimhen leaving Italy will take almost all of the black / African fans away.
I am sure we mostly watch Napoli and Italian league for the sake of osimhen. Personally i watch only Napoli games and sometimes Chukwueze.

Once he leaves, i dump those channels.

Best of luck lad

Normally osimhen no be small striker

Hehehe.

Who no like better thing .

The boy is good. A hustler and a good finisher.

But EdoState Amaka na

One of the best ever defenders just said this.
But a certain rivelino said osimhen wasn't world class and all that balderdash, and some people here agreed with that nonsense opinion.

Osimhen is class, but he needs a better club than Napoli!!
