Juventus legend, Alessandro Del Piero has commended Napoli’s Victor Osimhen for his positive attitude despite his side’s 3-1 loss to Barcelona in their UEFA Champions League tie on Tuesday.
While Osimhen failed to score in the game, Del Piero believes that his performance can be attributed to the overall team effort.
Despite Napoli’s negative season, with the club struggling to match their performances from last year, Osimhen has remained positive and committed to the team.
The 25-year-old striker has proven to be one of Napoli’s key assets this season, scoring 11 goals in the Serie A despite missing several games due to injury.
Despite the defeat to Barcelona, Del Piero remains optimistic about Osimhen’s contribution to the team.
“You may feel down, but his [Osimhen’s] qualities are unquestionable,” Del Piero said per Napoli Magazine.
“In general, he is in a very negative season for Napoli, and therefore, he has not faced everything that has happened in this season with a smile, but his attitude has always been positive.”
