Super Eagles winger, Moses Simon has claimed fans are putting too much pressure on Victor Osimhen to score for the team at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Osimhen has registered only one goal in three appearances for the Super Eagles in the competition.
The Napoli hitman also squandered a number of scoring opportunities in Nigeria’s three group games.
Simon, however, said the focus should be on the team, not an individual.
“We know that we have the best striker in the world in our team, which is Victor Osimhen,” the Nantes winger told a press conference in Abidjan on Friday.
“There is too much pressure on Osimhen to score. We have all missed good chances in the competition. I missed a good chance in the last game too.
“For us it is not about an individual, it is all about the team. We all take responsibility for everything that happens on the pitch.”
