The Portuguese coach emphasized the qualities of the Napoli striker that contribute significantly to the team’s success.

Despite scoring only one goal in the tournament, Osimhen has posed a constant threat to opposition defenders with his exceptional work ethic.

Peseiro highlighted Osimhen’s relentless work rate, defensive contributions, and selflessness, labeling him as the linchpin of the Super Eagles.

“When you watch the matches, you see his dedication to the team. He doesn’t play with a star mentality; he works hard and defends,” Peseiro stated during his pre-match press conference on Saturday.

“He contributes both defensively and offensively, creating space for us to exploit. He makes significant sacrifices for the team’s success.

“Every day, he gives his best because he understands his importance to the team. Despite facing numerous fouls, pressure, and stress, he perseveres because he knows that football is a collective effort.

“No player can succeed alone. We have built a cohesive team that fights together, and Victor epitomizes that spirit.”
