Nice win. You guys have started well, I hope you keep it up. Osimhen didnt score in this game but I believe he will explode in coming games.
Insigne went off injured in the game. Hope its not too serious, but it might give an opportunity to osimhen receiving more of the ball.
David okereke scored a wonderful goal for venezia against empoli. A sure goal of the week contender. Wow. Hope he continues in this form throughout this season and beyond.
I watched the match full 90 minutes and have to admit here that it will be difficult for Victor Osimhen to succeed in Napoli.
The Napoli front men and midfielders hardly pass the ball to him. They are so selfish and when they decide to pass the ball to him,it’s always a long ball to chase.
I will advise Victor’s agent to look for another top club at the end of this season. Am afraid if he performs below expectations before the season ends, it won’t be funny and nice for him. The Napoli Italian players don’t like him in their team.
If he didn’t succeed there that we’ll spell doom for his football career because he will not see big club to come for him. Don’t know who advice him to go to seria of all places he should stay one more year in Lille

Exactly see the rate CR7 left and at this rate I’m kinda rating lique 1 above serie A now, Italian league is far becoming a weak league with the rate in which all big players moving to other league.
