Former Nigeria International Efe Ambrose says Victor Osimhen is enjoying his best spell in front of goal for the Super Eagles because of the tactics of head coach Eric Chelle, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Osimhen has found the back of the net six times in six games under the coach including a hattrick in the 4-0 win over Benin Republic, which sealed a spot in the world cup qualifiers playoff for the team.
Speaking on the turnaround is Osimhen’s game under the coach, Ambrose said it’s a function of the way the team attacks under Chelle with Osimhen now playing very close to other attacking players unlike previous systems, where he has to play with his back to goal more often.
” Chelle has liberated Osimhen with his two man attack formation. It means Osimhen is now focus on running behind rather than chasing balls and also getting involved in build up by dropping to the midfield”, Ambrose who already has a UEFA B coaching licence explained.
” Six goals in five games isn’t something that happens without a proper setup on how to attack. He will score more in the playoff in November”, he concluded.
