Garcia wants Osimhen to defend more

Napoli’s coach, Rudi Garcia, has asked Osimhen to contribute more defensively following their opening 3-1 win over Frosinone last Saturday,

The Nigeria international scored two goals to help the Italian champions secure a comeback win after the Serie A newcomers stormed to an early lead.

Garcia, while pleased with Osimhen’s stellar attacking display, expressed dissatisfaction with the striker’s defensive contributions.

“Offensively, he was excellent, he scored two goals and there is nothing I can tell him,” Garcia told DAZN

“Defensively, I didn’t like him at all and I told him during the break. He used to press more and defend better in the past. We changed this thing in the second half and we played with more quality.
