While the victory against Udinese (4-1) calmed certain tensions in Naples, Rudi Garcia returned to the Victor Osimhen episode.
Already in the hot seat after a sluggish start to the season, Rudi Garcia was able to breathe a sigh of relief after the victory of his team Udinese (4-1) on Wednesday evening. And the French coach returned to the case of Victor Osimhen, who would like to leave after the controversy at the start of the week. Napoli posted videos mocking him on TikTok, and the Nigerian deleted all photos from his Instagram account where he wears the Italian club’s jersey.
“I can assure you that he loves this jersey and that he will give everything this season, Rudi Garcia told DAZN about Osimhen, trying to defuse this situation. No one meant any harm, whether it was the TikTok account or Victor. There were instinctive reactions. »
Garcia had a little friction with Osimhen, who did not appreciate coming out during the game in Bologna (0-0) after missing a penalty. “We were all frustrated and angry because we didn’t win, especially Victor because of the penalty, explains the former OL and OM coach. We cleared things up and everything returned to normal. But then there were two days to manage due to this awkward episode (on social networks, editor’s note). »
The victory against Udinese was good, because the stars Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen, struggling at the start of the season, found the fault. And the Nigerian even left the penalty obtained at 0-0 to his teammate Piotr Zielinski.
