Nigeria and Napoli’s forward, Victor Osimhen has said that he does not care about his lack of goals at the Africa Cup of Nations after the Super Eagles beat Angola 1-0 on Friday to progress to the semi-finals.
Recall that Osimhen found the net a quarter of an hour from the end when he headed in a Lookman free-kick, but his effort was disallowed for offside.
The Napoli striker made this known during an interview with Canal Plus Afrique, on Saturday, that: “Those who know me, they know I don’t put myself before the team. If my goal comes, they come.
“I want to help the team with goals of course, but if I am not scoring I am defending. If I am not defending I am fighting for them.
