Osimhen Urges Galatasaray to Stay Focused In Title Race
Victor Osimhen has urged Galatasaray to stay focused as they push for a third straight Turkish Super Lig title.
Galatasaray came from behind to secure a 2-1 win over Alanyaspor at the GAIN Park Stadium on Sunday, putting them seven points ahead of rivals Fenerbahce, who have a game in hand.
Osimhen scored the decisive goal, helping his team strengthen their position at the top of the table. The 26-year-old emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum as the season nears its end.
“First, I want to congratulate the team and thank our fans. We wouldn’t have had the energy to get these three points without them,” Osimhen said.
“We struggled in the first half but improved in the second. Every match from now until the end will be like a final, and we have to keep pushing.”
Osimhen has been in top form this season, scoring 22 goals and providing five assists in 29 appearances for Galatasaray.
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.”
