Naples: Victor Osimhen looks back on his ordeal in Germany

While participating in the CAN with Nigeria, Victor Osimhen looked back on his difficult beginnings in Germany in Wolfsburg, before exploding in Belgium in Charleroi: “There was a time when I spoke to my old agent and told him that I was ready to go to a third or fourth division club in Germany, because all I wanted to do was play… All my Life has been a struggle but I have always come out on top. Whatever bad things happened there, I take full responsibility for them. It was my decision to go to Wolfsburg, to try to improve, because I knew I was still developing after the World Cup in Chile. There was Mario Gómez there, Divock Origi too. I had to learn from these people”he said in an interview with Guardian.

“I was rejected by two clubs in Belgium before having the opportunity to sign on loan at Charleroi. It was my move to Belgium, to Charleroi, which was the turning point in my life. I owe my success to the president of the club and to the Charlerois who put their love and trust in a 19-year-old boy who was trying to establish himself. I can’t lie: it was exhausting at first. I was the top scorer at the Under-17 World Cup and was picked as the second best player in the tournament but my career was declining and hearing people say all kinds of things about me… I know the type player that I am and the quality that I possess. I knew that just one season would change my life forever.”then concluded the Napoli striker.
