• Victor Osimhen has continued to impress at Italian club Napoli that a former player says the Nigerian heads better than Cristiano Ronaldo
• Despite CR7 scoring 122 goals with his head so far, Bruno Giordano says Osimhen is a better header
• According to the former Italian, Osimhen does not give up and is always the protagonist in the current squad

A former striker at Italian club Napoli, Bruno Giordano, has suggested that Nigerian international Victor Osimhen heads better that Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

Giordano, who won the Scudetto with the Partenopei in 1987, disclosed that Osimhen is the catalyst of the current squad as he possesses strange qualities.

The forward has continued to attract both criticisms and commendations since joining the Italian outfit in the summer of 2020.

And Giordano has sparked some debates when he said Osimhen heads the ball than five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.

Giordano told Il Mattino, via Calcio Napoli 24:

“We are talking about an incredible player and we are not discovering him now,” Giordano told Il Mattino, via Calcio Napoli 24.

“He opens gaps for his teammates, walks the defences and then scores. He does not give up and is always the protagonist : he plays every ball as if it were the one of life.”

He said the Nigerian, who scored seven headers last season is stronger in that area than the legendary Portuguese forward:

“The header. In this fundamental he is even stronger than Cristiano Ronaldo.”

So far in his career, CR7 has scored 122 headed goals and his supreme heading technique is regarded as one of the best in football.
