Osimhen reflects on background and discipline

Speaking on The Side of Football Nobody Talks About with Smallie, Osimhen shared personal experiences from his early career, stressing that success in football is built on more than talent alone.

“I know how [tough] it is to make it from the trenches, especially in football,” Osimhen said. “Many of you are just like me, and those who made it passed through the same struggles you’re facing today.”

The former Napoli forward highlighted three values he said shaped his career: belief in God, hard work with acceptance of setbacks, and education.
