Apart from a fantastic Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Napoli has another hero this season: Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian forward is on fire this season, as he scored 25 goals in 29 games in all competitions. Pretty impressive. It’s needless to say that Osimhen and his protective mask have become a trademark in Naples. Many kids are wearing it as the Nigerian became an idol for the kids and has given a lot of interviews this season. And one of his main topics for him is racism. Osimhen often talks about the issue as he is among many players in Italy and Europe who faced it personally.Everyone loves Victor Osimhen 🇳🇬 pic.twitter.com/fvf0PJ1OG9— Frank Khalid OBE (@FrankKhalidUK) March 26, 2023 One incident was at the Stadio Bentegodi stadium in 2021, where Hellas Verona fans hurled monkey chants at him each time he touched the ball. Osimhen got his revenge when he scored and mocked the opposition fans for their actions. He also suffered racism chants from fans of Roma and Florentina in 2020 and spoke about the issue again.“I will use everything at my disposal to defeat racism. It is not nice to be judged by the colour of your skin. Every parent must make their children understand it is wrong. My partner is white, so are many of my friends and I love them all. This racism must end, because it psychologically damages so many kids” said Osimhen to TG5 when asked about the topic.Osimhen’s price is bigger after every scored goalOne of the main questions was his injury, which kept him out of action in an embarrassing loss to AC Milan, but the Nigerian assured fans that he will be available for the upcoming two-game battle with Rossoneri in the Champions League.“It is nothing serious, but I want to take these 10-12 days to rest and recover. I hope to be there, but I have also been told and I am convinced that I will be on the pitch against Milan” said Osimhen.14 – The five players with the most goals+assists in Europe’s top five leagues this season 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥:14 – Lionel Messi (5G, 9A)12 – Bukayo Saka (6G, 6A)11 – Neymar (7G, 4A)11 – Antoine Griezmann (5G, 6A)11 – Victor Osimhen (9G, 2A)Pivotal. pic.twitter.com/d5Dv1B8WKl— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) March 28, 2023 Even thou the Neapolitans lost in Serie A, their dominance has been so strong, that they will mathematically win the title in the upcoming weeks, even if they lose a couple more games, and the whole town and region has been prepared for it.“We are all happy and giving our best to make our dream come true. We are close to the objective and can’t wait for that dream to become reality. Naples is extraordinary, so passionate. I have never received so much love and I can’t wait to celebrate the title with them in the stadium and in the streets” said Osimhen.##NAJAVA_MECA_7153422##
