Solskjaer gives Topçu ‘Stop Osimhen’ order in Saturday’s Super Lig derby

Besiktas coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to take special measures against Victor Osimhen in Saturday’s Galatasaray derby, one of matchday 29 fixtures in the Super Lig.

The former Manchester United player and coach has also set out who would take on the task of stopping the rampaging Nigerian who has scored 20 goals in 22 games the competition so far this season.

Solskjaer, who will be without Zaynutdinov, Uduokhai and Necip Uysal and Emrecan Terzi in the derby, has given the task of stopping Osimhen to Emirhan Topçu, according to Hürriyet.

Solskjaer, who focused on defense in Thursday’s training, took a special interest in Topçu and gave tactical information for his role in the derby.

According to the newspaper, Solskjaer asked Topçu to mark Osimhen throughout the match and not to let the Nigerian striker open his eyes.

When both sides met last October, Osimhen scored one of the goals in Galatasaray’s 2-1 win.
