After getting angry with Rudi Garcia during his outing against Bologna on Sunday, Victor Osimhen apologized to the French coach.
A few months after his title of Italian champion, the Naples is struggling to enter its 2023-2024 season. Beaten by Lazio before the break, the Neapolitans have still not regained the taste of victory since the resumption in Serie A with a draw in Genoa (2-2) and another disappointing one on the lawn of Bologna (0-0 ) Sunday night.
This meeting was notably the scene of an altercation between Victor Osimhen and his trainer Rudi Garcia. The Nigerian striker, frustrated at being substituted in the 85th minute after a match which saw him find the post and miss a penalty, expressed his displeasure at leaving the pitch to the French technician, indicating that it was two consecutive times (after Braga on Wednesday) that he left before the end of the match.
Osimhen apologized
A gesture which was obviously noticed in Italy and even in Europe, but the controversy would have quickly ended with the apologies of the former Lille resident. If we are to believe the information from the Gazzetta dello Sport this Monday, the 24-year-old striker apologized in the locker room before training, in front of Garcia and his teammates, so he should not be sanctioned by the Azzuri leaders. Good news for Naples, who will need their striker for the upcoming deadlines, including the reception of the real Madrid in the Champions League on October 3.
