AS Roma coach Jose Mourinhopraise as well as satirize Victor Osimhen. This is what the Portuguese tactician said.
AS Roma visit headquarters Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in the Italian League continued, Monday (30/1/2023) early morning WIB. The Giallorossi trailed 0-1 at half-time due to a goal by Victor Osimhen.
Roma increased attacks in the second half. The hard work of Jose Mourinho’s team paid off in the 75th minute through Stephan El Shaarawy’s goal.
The capital team eventually lost 1-2. Three points could not be reached after Giovanni Simeone scored a goal in the 86th minute.
After the game, Mourinho praised Osimhen, who has currently scored 14 goals. On the other hand, Osimhen was also ridiculed by Mourinho because he often fell easily.
“He is on the same level as (Didier) Drogba, but Drogba doesn’t dive. If Victor changes, okay. I will buy him if I am at a club with lots of money,” Mourinho said as quoted by Football Italia.
“However, if he goes to England one day he needs to change, because in Italy they put up with that kind of behaviour, whereas in the Premier League they are going to be tough on him.”
The Special One also spoke with Osimhen after the match. At that moment Mourinho reminded the man from Nigeria to stop diving.
“I told him he scored a great goal and needs to stop diving so much. His goal was fantastic, he did the same thing when we met earlier this season, so he is a fantastic player. But he can’t dive.”
