Nigerian Super Eagles and Galatasaray Forward Victor Osimhen has praised Mauro Icardi and debunked rivalry between them.
In a recent interview with the club’s media, Nigerian international Victor Osimhen debunked rumors of a rivalry with Argentina’s Mauro Icardi, instead expressing his admiration and eagerness to learn from the veteran forward.
Osimhen recently joined Turkish Super Lig club Galatasaray and debuted Saturday against Rizespor. When asked about the potential competition with Icardi, Osimhen emphasized his desire for collaboration and growth.
” I knew that Galatasaray was an excellent team before I came. I will try to contribute as well. There is no competition between us and the center forwards. ” Icardi is a legend of this game. Batshuayi is also a very important and deadly forward. “I have things to learn from both of them. I think we will cooperate with them”, he said during the interview.
By acknowledging Icardi’s and Batshuayi’s exceptional skill and experience, Osimhen demonstrated his willingness to learn from his new teammates. This approach not only showcases Osimhen’s humility but also his commitment to personal growth and team success.
As Osimhen settles into his new role at Galatasaray, his focus on teamwork and mutual respect will likely foster a positive and productive environment within the squad.
