Adepoju stated, “Osimhen is doing what he has been doing—fighting for balls and struggling for possession. The only thing is that he has not been as calm when it comes to finishing chances. However, I believe it’s crucial to keep creating chances, and scoring goals will become more important.”
The Super Eagles legend stressed that his concern would be valid if the team wasn’t creating opportunities.
He expressed optimism that in the upcoming matches, the team would perform better and capitalize on the chances.
As Osimhen continues to contribute in various aspects, Adepoju’s remarks underline the holistic view of player contributions beyond just scoring goals, highlighting the value of Osimhen’s overall involvement in the team’s efforts
