Osimhen's Team-First Mentality
In the same breath, Simon shed light on Victor Osimhen's mindset throughout the tournament. Despite bagging a goal and an assist in five matches—a tally that might seem modest for a striker of his caliber—Osimhen's focus is laser-sharp on the bigger picture.
"The atmosphere is good in the team. Osimhen is thinking about winning, not just scoring," Simon shared. This insight into Osimhen's mentality reveals a player who prioritizes team success over personal glory, a testament to the unity and determination that define the current squad.
"If he gets a chance to score he will take it, but he's focused on the team's victory first," Simon continued, painting a picture of a squad united in their quest for continental supremacy.
