Batrakov Commends Osimhen's Competitive Spirit at Galatasaray
Aleksey Batrakov, a midfielder for Galatasaray, praised Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen for his fierce desire to win and perfectionist attitude. Batrakov recalled their first training session, where a mini-tournament showcased Osimhen's competitive nature.
He noted Osimhen's unselfishness during a penalty shootout, where Osimhen allowed Batrakov to take the final penalty, leading to a celebration after Batrakov scored. Despite facing criticism from Turkish media for not scoring in three consecutive matches against Kasımpaşa, Barcelona, and Gençlerbirliği after returning from a groin injury, Osimhen dismissed claims that this affected his confidence.
On October 21, Osimhen scored in Galatasaray's 4-2 Champions League victory over Lille, marking his 14th goal in European competitions for the club. He will have another opportunity to demonstrate his competitive spirit when Galatasaray faces Fenerbahçe in the Turkish Süper Lig.
