Despite being tied for third place on Nigeria’s all-time scoring chart, Osimhen’s current struggles have raised concerns.
Odegbami Analyzes Challenges: Solid Creative Midfield and Front-of-Goal Lethality
Segun Odegbami pointed out challenges in the Nigerian team, emphasizing the absence of a solid creative midfield and a lack of lethality in front of goal.
He stressed the importance of composure when presented with goal-scoring opportunities and expressed surprise at Osimhen’s apparent pressure during the tournament.
