Mourinho praises Osimhen, comparing him to Drogba: “They’re the same except for one thing…”

If anyone out there has a legitimate right to talk about Didier Drogba and his skills and qualities, then it’s definitely Jose Mourinho. The two of them worked closely together in two spells at Chelsea, making history with the Blues. The exquisite African forward propelled under Mou’s guidance, becoming one of the most prominent strikers in the world.🎙️ José Mourinho on Osimhen: “He is of the same level as Drogba, but Didier didn’t dive. If Victor changes, then OK. I’d buy him if I was at a club with a lot of money. However, if he does go to England, he needs to change. In Italy they put up with this sort of behaviour.” pic.twitter.com/eAFglHyD1Z— Football Tweet ⚽ (@Football__Tweet) January 30, 2023 Now, when another African gem, Victor Osimhen, is reaching football stardom, Mr Special One was asked to compare the Ivorian and the Nigerian.

I’d buy him if I was at a club with a lot of money.
