I am glad that Victor Osimhen finally secured a club after all the delays and tensions. Seeing this headline today, I think it is worth discussing because it has some lessons. To be a successful player, talent is not enough, character is more important. Victor made some mistakes that affected his transfer, he has anger management issues. His unguided comments about some coaches he has worked under are not okay. Coaches should have the right human management skills but no coach would like to work under a player who cannot control his emotions.
It is actually very good news for him otherwise his career would have derailed pretty badly in my opinion.
It was confirmed that Antonio Conte was never going to play him in the next season. At least definitely not as much as he would have wanted to. So it is obviously good for him that he could actually go to Galatasaray. At least he will be able to play as much as he wants in that club.
You could say that his staying at Napoli could have been the biggest mistake of his career so far.
But if you ask me, at the end of the day, the mistake is done by himself and he has only himself to blame for that.
I am pretty sure that a lot of people had actually told him to get out of Napoli while he still could. But obviously, he did not take that advice. I am just glad that he did not have to suffer too much for it.
And also at this early stage of his career, he should really think about that anger management issue that he has.
