The manager of the Italian Serie A Champions Napoli Rudi Garcia has cleared the air on the substitution of Nigeria’s Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian attacker was replaced in the 84th minute of the game against Bologna where he missed a penalty
His substitution sparked reactions and the gaffer explained the reason behind his substitution.
” Even the greatest players in history miss a penalty, as for when he went off we talked about that, what I say to my players remained in the locker room.
We have a lot of quality in the squad and on the bench, so Simone, Politano and Elmas came on and I still have Jesper available too.
When we have this quality, we can’t always have 90 minutes with the same men, especially as we have four games in 4 days.
It’s positive that players are not happy when they come off just because it can happen that I’m not happy with their performance.
It’s a large squad and I want to use them all”, he said.
