Nigeria - Mozambique: Lookman speaks about his argument with Osimhen

In the mixed zone, Ademola Lookman returned to the dispute between Victor Osimhen and himself shortly after the hour of play in the eighth final against Mozambique. While the Super Eagles were leading 3-0, the Atalanta striker had the opportunity to serve Galatasaray’s or another partner, but he forced his strike that goes off target in the 63rd minute.

Something to provoke the ire of Victor Osimhen who showed him his stride in a very virulent manner: "Hey, it’s a team game, it’s a team game," we can hear the 2023 Ballon d'or say, before Wilfred Ndidi and even some Mozambican players stopped him from even getting physical with his goal feeder.

If Victor Osimhen then refused to do the interviews in the mixed zone, Ademola Lookman stopped in front of the Nigerian press to evoke this moment when the egos woke up. « It’s only football. It’s always football. He (Victor Osimhen) is my brother," replied the Ballon d'Or 2024 to the microphone of Naija Sports, avoiding any controversy. 

"I haven’t seen Osimhen yet, but I don’t think it’s very important." Vic" is our number one asset, everyone knows it, he’s a great striker. So it doesn’t really matter,"

 he added, as reported by 20 Minutes. Eric Chelle did not wish to raise this issue with him in front of the media.
