AFCON 2023: How Osimhen Exposed Aguissa’s Secret Before Nigeria Vs Cameroon –Onyeka

Super Eagles midfielder, Frank Onyeka has revealed how the tips he received from Victor Osimhen helped him to clip his Napoli teammate, André-Frank Zambo Anguissa in Nigeria’s 2-0 win over Cameroon in the round of 16 of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Recall that the Brentford midfielder was at his best mettle in that encounter as he prevented Anguissa from making long passes and other short passes to connect with the strikers.

In a chat with The Hindsight Podcast, Onyeka state that Osimhen played a key that exposed Anguissa’s secret play before the game.

“Osimhen told me that he likes to play short, short passes and tries to connect.

“He doesn’t play long so when he gets the ball I try to close him as much as possible even Alex because we know that he doesn’t turn, doesn’t play long passes. He only tries to connect with the strikers with short passes.”

“It has been good, I try to do my job as much as I can so I guess it’s working well so far. I’m really, really glad.”
