Napoli manager, Walter Mazzarri was a delighted figure after Victor Osimhen put up a good display in the Serie A champions’ 2-1 win against Cagliari.
Osimhen lit up the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona with an all round performance.
The newly crowned African Footballer of the Year scored once and also bagged an assist in the game.
His assist for Napoli’s second goal scored by Kvicha Kvaratskhelia was a beauty.
He drew away six Cagliari players and managed to pull back from the by-line for Kvaratskhelia to score at the far post.
“I am glad that he (Osimhen) and Kvara scored, because they were both looking a bit irritable.
“They needed to get back to being protagonists the way they were last season,” Mazzarri was quoted by Football Italia.
“I can’t blame the team for getting tense, as it felt like in the first half the goal was cursed. When strikers are not relaxed, they can make really simple mistakes.”
