Speaking about the game, former Serie A midfielder Alessandro Budel insists the Nigerian striker has been found out by Italian defenders, with Genoa's backline receiving special praise.
“Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia, and Lobotka, are three great footballers, but defenders are now used to them, so they have very little spaces to work with. Budel told Napoli Magazine
“Osimhen against Genoa had few balls because Genoa didn’t allow depth. In the second half, he tried to get busy by going wide, but it was clear that alternatives needed to be created to allow him to play better.
"One could be to insert Raspadori because he would free up the spaces a little, and the Nigerian would be less alone.”
