Osimhen’s Spat With Lookman Won’t Disrupt Super Eagles’ Rhythm At AFCON 2025 — Ibitoye

The Super Eagles’ participation in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) will not be affected by Victor Osimhen’s feud with Ademola Lookman, according to Toyin Ibitoye, a former team media officer.

In the second half of Nigeria’s 4-0 victory over Mozambique in the final 16 tie at the AFCON on Monday, Osimhen confronted Lookman. &nbsp,

The Atalanta winger was criticized for not passing the ball to him in a promising area as Galatasaray’s man and 2023 African Player of the Year. At the end of the tunnel, Osimhen demanded that he be subbed right away and hurried into the tunnel. &nbsp,

Ibitoye, however, claims that the team’s officials will handle the situation without incident. &nbsp,

Because this is a tournament setting, “we will handle the situation.” Nothing could obstruct the team’s built-in rhythm. &nbsp,

They understand him, so I’m certain that the problem has been resolved. According to Ibitoye, this is not the first time this tournament is taking place. &nbsp,

You can recall the first game when he and the assistant referee exchanged words and said, “Now I’ve scored a good goal, let’s see if you can disallow this.” You can also recall him conversing with the Tunisian bench and other things. However, Victor for you.

“That situation needs to be better managed, but it will be resolved.” They’ll probably laugh at it because I know these boys very well.

A tale of two peoples’ relationship crumbled between Lookman and Osimhen. They initially appeared to be a heaven-made partnership, torn apart the Mozambican defense. &nbsp,

Lookman provided the assist for the opening goal for Nigeria. In the wet pitch, Osimhen and the winger slid together, beaming with joy. Many teams would envious of the chemistry there. &nbsp,

The forward pair, however, bucked with themselves moments later. Lookman yelled at him incredulously because he hadn’t given him a pass, so Obsimhen became furious. &nbsp,

Osimhen left the team right away after the match and snubbed the post-game media appearances despite being subbed off. &nbsp,

Football fans and analysts expressed concern about the development. However, Ibitoye claims that the Super Eagles frequently engage in self-indulgence. &nbsp,

Chukwueze and Bassey are known for carrying over what transpired at Fulham when Bassey was unable to pass the ball and instead ballooned it, and Chukwueze said, “You ballooned it like an amateur player,” he said. &nbsp,
