Nigerians have been speculating that Napoli players are deliberately refusing to pass the ball to star striker Victor Osimhen in the wake of recent poor performances.
Victor Osimhen has not had a great start to the 2023/24 season so far by his own very high standards but has still managed to contribute six goals in 13 appearances for Napoli.
This season, Osimhen is scoring a goal approximately every 123 minutes, a notable shift from last season when he scored once every 97 minutes across 39 games in all competitions.

This drop-off has made fans on social media float an intriguing theory about the striker's recent goal drought. The speculation suggests that his Napoli teammates might intentionally be limiting his access to the ball, as he hasn't scored in the last six games.

Osimhen can use verbal and non-verbal communication to convey his readiness for a pass. Clear and concise gestures, along with vocal cues, can help his Napoli teammates recognize when he's prepared to receive the ball.
