"Galatasaray" striker Victor Osimhen spoke about Turin team's head coach Luciano Spaletti and the game ahead of the UEFA Champions League match against "Juventus".
İdman.Biz reports that the "Galatasaray" - "Juventus" game will start today at 22.45.
"It will be interesting to face a top club. We know that we will not allow our attention to be distracted, because any mistake in their match can be costly. Moreover, I will face Spalletti...
People said that we were arguing [with Luciano Spalletti], but that's not true: I have great respect for him. He slept for months at the "Napoli" training center, working day and night to convince us that we could win the Scudetto. He brought many players, even me, to peak form and won with a club that hadn't achieved it for decades. He expected a lot, but also gave a lot. Some coaches help you develop first as a person and then as a player.
Yes, [I could have played this match in "Juventus" uniform] just like I could have played in two other top Serie A clubs today. Before negotiations with "Galatasaray" started, [sports director Cristiano] Giuntoli called me and offered to move to "Juventus". I spoke to several people at the club and they showed interest, but I knew that [the club president] would not let me go. In any case, there was definitely interest. When "Juventus" calls you, no matter what, you have to sit down and listen," - La Gazzetta dello Sport quotes Osimhen.
