In a recent interview, Osimhen praised Bassey for his physical strength and pace, describing him as one of the hardest defenders to play against, especially given their familiarity from international football.

Osimhen stated, "Calvin is strong, fast, and difficult to beat in one-on-one situations," emphasizing the tough battles they have during matches. Additionally, Osimhen spoke about Romero, noting the Argentine World Cup winner's aggressive defensive tactics and constant pressure on attackers, which makes him a challenging opponent.
