‘Koulibaly and Osimhen are two extraordinary players’, Salernitana coach Stefano says

Salernitana manager Stefano Colantuono has described Victor Osimhen and Kalidou Koulibaly as “extraordinary players” ahead of Sunday evening’s Serie A match against Napoli at Arechi Stadium in Salerno.

Nigeria international Osimhen has been influential for Napoli, starting each of the last eight Serie A matches and scoring five goals in the process, while Senegal’s Koulibaly has been solid in defence, with the team conceding just three goals in the league this season.

“Koulibaly and Osimhen are two extraordinary players, but Napoli are a very strong team, which deserves great consideration,” Colantuono said as quoted by AreaNapoli.

“They are living a moment of grace, they have won almost all of [league matches this season] and we can’t do anything wrong otherwise they will punish us.

“We will try to play with our characteristics, working in the details that will make the difference. Napoli, together with Milan, are the strongest [in the league].”

Napoli are top of the league with 28 points, while Salernitana are 18th – they’ve won just two of ten games played, losing seven and drawing one.
