Galatasaray superstar striker Victor Osimhen has said that while he was young he believed hard work would earn him riches even if it was not going to come through football.
“I get that belief in myself, even when I was in the trenches when it was tough. The way we had to hustle,” Victor Osimhen said during a Twitch livestream with social media personality Carter Efe on Saturday.
According to the Galatasaray superstar striker, while he was young, he believed hard work would earn him riches even if it was not going to come through football.
The Nigerian lethal striker is taking time out in Lagos as he hopes for the quick healing of his broken arm, sustained in Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League clash against Liverpool in Anfield.
“There’s no legit work that you’ll call me for that you won’t meet me there around five in the morning or four or three. Wake me up, I go hustle,” he said.
“Even if not through football, I will have money like mad. That’s the way I believe. That’s the way I believe in myself,” the 27-year-old added.
On his relationship with Galatasaray, Osimhen said his loan move to the Istanbul club came at a particularly difficult period in his career, and that the warmth he encountered there stood in sharp contrast to experiences elsewhere.
“Gala is more than a club for me. We’re meant to cross paths, me and that club.
“When you enter that club, you realise and see the way that it treats players, the way they give their sweat for the badge. From other experiences, you see they deprive players of real love,” he added.
He said the love extended beyond the dressing room to supporters around the world, and that his family had been equally swept up in it.
“Even my daughter, they’re more inclined to that club than me,” he said.
