Posted : 31 May 2023

In a recent interview from Italy's U20 World Cup camp, Giuseppe Ambrosino, a young striker owned by Napoli, expressed his deep admiration for the Nigerian international Victor Osimhen.

Ambrosino's encounter with Osimhen came during a match between Italy and Nigeria's U20 teams, where the Flying Eagles secured a convincing 2-0 victory over their Italian counterparts.

Although Ambrosino was somewhat contained during that game, he bounced back in the final group stage match, displaying his skills with a goal and an assist as the European team emphatically defeated the Dominican Republic 3-0, securing their spot in the round of 16.

At only 19 years old, Ambrosino showcased his remarkable scoring abilities during the 2021-2022 season, emerging as the top scorer in the Campionato Primavera 1.

Over the course of 31 games, he found the back of the net an impressive nineteen times, establishing himself as a promising talent.

To aid in his development, Ambrosino was loaned out to Como for the first half of the season, where he gained valuable experience.

In the latter half of the campaign, he joined Cittadella, further honing his skills and enhancing his footballing acumen.

Meanwhile, Victor Osimhen played a pivotal role in Napoli's triumphant Serie A title win, a feat they hadn't achieved in thirty-three years.

Osimhen has been exceptional throughout the season, standing as the top scorer in the division with an impressive tally of 25 goals, making him a standout performer.

It is Osimhen's remarkable achievements and skill set that have captivated Ambrosino's admiration.

In an interview with Il Mattino, relayed by Spazionapoli, Ambrosino shared his thoughts on his readiness for the Serie A.

He expressed his belief in his own abilities and stated his admiration for Osimhen.

Ambrosino particularly commended Osimhen's outstanding work ethic, describing him as a highly talented player with an incredible drive and tenacity.

He even likened Osimhen's striking ability to that of an animal, emphasizing the power and determination with which he strikes the ball.

Looking ahead, Ambrosino and his Italian U20 teammates are preparing to face England in the round of 16 of the World Cup.

The upcoming match presents an opportunity for Ambrosino to showcase his skills on a grand stage, hoping to contribute to his team's success against formidable opponents.
