Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen has issued an official statement addressing the controversy surrounding Super Eagles’ coach Eric Chelle’s post-match comments.
Osimhen clarified that the remarks were taken out of context and exaggerated.
“Unfortunately, his words have been taken out of context and blown out of proportion. He has great respect for Galatasaray, follows most of our games, and never intended to create any controversy…”
The statement was released to calm tensions after Chelle’s comments sparked heated reactions from fans and media.
Osimhen emphasized his focus on football and urged everyone to avoid unnecessary distractions as the season enters its final stretch.
