Osimhen Backs Galatasaray to Win All Remaining Games and Take the Title
Victor Osimhen is confident Galatasaray have what it takes to finish the season strong and lift the Turkish Super Lig title.
The Yellow and Reds are battling it out with city rivals Fenerbahce in a tight title race. After a 2-0 win over third-placed Samsunspor on Friday night, Galatasaray now sit six points clear at the top.
Osimhen and Yunus Akgun both found the net in the win, giving their side a crucial boost in the title run.
Speaking after the match, Osimhen praised the team’s spirit and belief.
“Our focus is clear. We want to win, and we know we have the quality to do it,” he said. “It won’t be easy, we’ve got tough games ahead, but we’re ready to give everything.”
He added that the team is determined to push through and secure a third straight league title.
“We just have to fight every step of the way. If we stay focused, I believe we’ll come out on top,” he said.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
