Serie A: Osimhen Under Scrutiny For Mocking Juventus Fans 

Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen, has come under scrutiny from La Gazzetta dello Sport for his reaction towards Juventus fans following Napoli’s loss to the team on Friday.

Osimhen made a controversial gesture that went viral after the game, leading to widespread discussion about the incident.

Osimhen was spotted on a video making a 5-1 gesture with his hands towards Juventus fans at the Allianz Stadium, apparently reminding them of their team’s 5-1 loss to Napoli last season.

La Gazzetta dello Sport has criticized the gesture as an act that should have been avoided.

According to Journalist Marco Ciriello, Osimhen’s demonstration was proof of “The tendency to live in the past and create a bubble which isolates from the present.

“When Osimhen mimics a 5-1 win, he is defending himself, pleasing himself and the fans and holding on to an event of the past in a present that doesn’t go quite well,” the journalist continued.

“Osimhen can be excused because of his age and because of the frustration of not scoring (in two months), but when you mention the past after a defeat, you show all your weaknesses.

“It is clear that Napoli are lost in memories in a continuous evocation of the past that embraces the present and never leaves space for it. It is not by remembering the games of the past that Napoli will win the title again because if you keep thinking about the past, the future will never come.”

Since the departure of former coach Rudi Garcia, Juventus have struggled under the leadership of Walter Mazzarri.

They have lost three of their last four games, placing them 14 points behind table leaders Inter.

Meanwhile, Napoli share the fourth spot in the standings with Roma, although the Giallorossi have an additional game yet to be played.

This places them in a strong position to move up the table with a win over Fiorentina at the Stadio Olimpico tonight.
