Funny how the on-pitch outburst of Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen at teammate Ademola Lookman during an African Cup of Nations, AFCON match, overshadowed Nigerias 4-0 win over Mozambique. Osimhen and Lookman have since dominated headlines after that Round of 16 match for that heated exchange. While some fans are busy calling for sanctions against Osimhen, Lookman, who should feel spited, described what happened as "Just Football". Even the Captain of the team Wilfred Ndidi called the encounter "a very competitive attitude" which he likes.
So, wouldnt fans do well to understand it that way, for a united and progressive team? From time immemorial, a lot occurs during any match, one of which is outburst such as displayed by Osimhen. And does that really define the player, especially a player of such calibre? A goal freak whose on-pitch attitude, be it negative or positive, only tends towards putting his team ahead? Is he puffed up due to his growing records? That hardly could be the case because this Galatasaray player does not even consider himself as a celebrity.
