Emmanuel Amuneke, former Nigeria international, has provided an explanation as to why Victor Osimhen did not perform as well as expected at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations(AFCON) in Ivory Coast.
Despite being tipped as a strong contender for the Golden Boot, Osimhen only managed to score one goal in the tournament.
Amuneke believes that Osimhen’s performance was affected by his defensive responsibilities, which reduced his effectiveness as a striker.
Amuneke also highlighted the need for other players to complement the efforts of Osimhen, as well as the likes of Chukwueze and Moses.
