Osimhen gave me tough time – Udinese’s Bijol

By Daily Sports Nigeria on December 14, 2022

Udinese centre-back Jaka Bijol says Napoli’s Victor Osimhen is the toughest striker he has faced in the Italian Serie A this season.

Osimhen has been fantastic for the Partenopeans since last season and has established himself as a prolific player for them, scoring 28 goals in 46 appearances since term.

The Nigeria international scored a goal in Napoli’s 3-2 win over Udinese in November in a Serie A clash.

Bijol, the 23-year-old Slovenian defender, said Osimhen’s strength, pace and pitch management make it difficult to keep the former Lille striker quiet for the entire duration of a game.

“I had a difficult life in the last match against Napoli. Oshimen is a really strong striker. He is fast and knows how to move well, “Bijol told Tutton Napoli

Osimhen’s fine form has helped Napoli top Serie A with 41 points from 15 matches and also lead their Champions League group with 15 points, winning five of their six matches, before the World Cup break.

He is on course to make history with Napoli, as they hope to end over 30 years of wait to win the league.
