Careca praises Napoli and compares Osimhen to Haaland: “He has extraordinary agility”

The former player Careca praised Napoli, the leader of the Italian Championship, in this Monday. The retired striker, who played for the Neapolitans between 1987 and 1993, told the newspaper The morning the way the team has been regular this season.

“Napoli play better than everyone else, the difference between Milan and Inter confirms that”, he said. “But it’s not the others who have limits: it’s (Luciano) Spalletti’s team that has an extraordinary rhythm, thanks to the quality of its players and its hunger for success”.

In addition to praising the championship leader, Careca also mentioned the good form of striker Victor Osimhen. For him, Napoli’s regularity is largely maintained by the Nigerian’s ability to put the ball in the back of the net.

“Osimhen’s hunger impresses me: he enters the field with determination and a desire to score, to score and open up space for his teammates with his movements. He is not a static striker. It has unique features. A bit like Haaland, the star of (Manchester) City, who looks heavy, but has extraordinary agility”, completed Careca about the top scorer of the competition, with 13 goals.
