Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti worries that Napoli striker Victor Osimhen will be a big threat to them.
Champions league second games begins on Tuesday night with Napoli playing from home against Real Madrid, but Ancelotti has told the press that he knows Osimhen will be a threat to his team.
Victor Osihmen recorded five goals in the previous champions league campaign and also gave an assist in the 2-1 win against Braga.
Ancelotti was once a manager at Napoli and has admitted that the game against the Italian champions will be a difficult game for them, insisting Napoli’s attack combination of Osimhen and kvaratskhekia will be a major problem to Madrid’s defence line.
“Napoli striker Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are two good attackers, they have both proven to be a a dangerous combination against any team and has shown quality to be in any top team. Osimhen is a dangerous attacker while Kvaratskhelia is good at taking down players and goalkeepers one on one” he said.
Ancelotti will returns to Naples after coaching Napoli from 2018 to 2019 with 73 games as the manager of the Italian champions. “returning to Naples is about remembering the past and the good memories here in Naples, we know it will be a difficult game for us playing away from home but Real Madrid has a strong reputation in the champions league and that will help us against Napoli” Ancelotti added.
Osimhen’s agent few days ago wanted a legal action against Napoli after the team mocked his client on their official TikTok account, but the club made a statement concerning the issue and Osimhen has also apologized to the team after deleting everything related to Napoli on his official Instagram account. But Napoli’s coach Rudi Garcia believes everything is okay with the Osimhen.
