The masked man scored 9 goals in the first 15 days of the championship (and no penalty kicks). The masked man is Victor Osimhenthe attacker of Naples who at the break of the World Cup reached the top of the standings and with a wide advantage over his pursuers (+8 over Milan, +10 over Juventus, +11 over Lazio and Inter). The special protection he put on his face after the serious injury at San Siro against the Nerazzurri has become an integral part and amulet, as if it were a piece of uniform he cannot do without.
Do you even need it? No, the fracture he brought back to his face healed perfectly, the bones came together and the blue tip could even do without this device. But caution and precautions are never enough in the face of that heavy blow suffered and the serious trauma suffered. “It was a very delicate operation – admitted to Rádio Crc the doctor Roberto Ruggiero, who designed the instrument -. It was thought that he had lost his eye.”🇧🇷
Fear, prevention, superstition. Perhaps there is this and much more behind the player’s choice not to deprive himself of that device that he only takes off when he rejoices after a goal: it’s an instinctive gesture, he takes it out of his face and crushes it in the air along with his arms. “He is cured and would not need it anymore – added the intervention specialist – but the fear is strong and he wants to protect himself”🇧🇷
On January 4th, when the championship resumes, Napoli will be on stage at San Siro for a match that can say a lot in terms of balance of strength at the top of the standings, both in the race for the championship and in the fight for the top four positions. For Osimhen it will be like returning to the scene of the crime… but this time with an extra weapon.
It stuck in our face and it’s like having a special power, it almost makes you feel invincible and unassailable. “We design and manufacture devices that should be appendages of the body – Ruggiero’s words -, Osimhen saw himself well and decided to keep the mask because it fits well…”.
The fractured cheek is just a bad memory: he was out for over 50 days and missed 12 matches. Now Osimhen wants to recover everything and with interest. Between Serie A and the Champions League (1 goal against Ajax) he has already reached double figures (10 goals), but he is only at the beginning. The best is yet to come and after the World Cup in Qatar, which he will only see as a spectator, he will get serious again. Once the mask is off, it will no longer be possible to hide.
