Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has come under fire from Italian journalist Marika Fruscio for allegedly behaving impolitely towards his teammates.
In advance of their match against Udinese on Wednesday, September 27, 2023, Osimhen, who has been ridiculed by the team on social media for missing a penalty, avoided shaking hands with his teammates upon his arrival at the team hotel.
Fruscio thinks that it is inappropriate for Osimhen to act grumpy and ignore his teammates, even if he did not see anything wrong with the club making fun of the player.
She questioned why the Nigerian would want to sue the team over a “sarcastic” video in her Instagram post, and she also accused the supporters of elevating the player to a divine status.
“Your a champion but it takes humility. What’s the use of deleting the photos of the team that worshiped and supported you. What’s the point of flirting like this?? Even legal action for a sarcastic video? An intelligent man would have laughed at it. BE THE PROFESSIONAL. HEAD DOWN AND WORK
It’s our fault anyway that we make these players almost gods… JUST THE SHIRT, JUST THE SHIRT.”
Osimhen, who appeared disgruntled in the video posted by Napoli-based blogger Gennaro Del Vecchio, shook hands with Santoro but ignored Demme and Zielinski.
Victor Osimhen scored for Napoli in their 4-1 home victory over Udinese despite the ridicule saga, bringing his Serie A goal total to four goals in six games.
