I have lost every respect I have for him – Victor Osimhen Blasts Former Coach Finidi George

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has publicly criticized former Nigeria head coach Finidi George, stating he has lost all respect for him. This comes after Finidi singled out Osimhen for criticism, accusing him of withdrawing from national team games due to minor injuries.

Osimhen, who plays for Napoli in Serie A, expressed his anger on social media, saying, “I have lost every respect I have for Finidi. It’s one thing to criticize, but to single me out like that? That’s just low.”

The striker explained that he had suffered an ankle injury and was advised by doctors to rest, but still offered to join the team to support his teammates. “I called Finidi and told him to allow me to come to the camp and be with the boys, but he told me to stay with my family,” Osimhen claimed.

The Super Eagles’ recent underperformance in the qualifiers has intensified criticism and shifted blame, creating a volatile atmosphere around the team. Finidi‘s resignation has only added fuel to the fire, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the team’s management.

Osimhen‘s outburst has sparked significant debate within Nigerian football, with fans and analysts weighing in on the issue. Some have criticized the striker for airing his grievances publicly, while others have praised him for standing up for himself.
