Seria A: What new Venezia coach, Nicola said about Akor Adams after goal against Napoli

Davide Nicola, the recently appointed manager of Venezia, praised the talents of Super Eagles striker Akor Adams after the striker's crucial goal during the team's Serie A match against Napoli on Saturday. Nicola, who took over as head coach this week, signed a two-year contract to replace Giovanni Stroppa, who was dismissed from the position due to a series of underwhelming performances.

The win marked Venezia's first victory of the season, achieved on matchday seven. In the 4th minute of the second half, Adams scored the opening goal by capitalizing on a defensive error and scoring past Napoli's goalkeeper, Alex Meret, following a long throw-in from Simon Sohm. During a post-match press conference, Nicola avoided discussing individual player performances, stating, "I do not favor discussing individual players.

Every player at your disposal possesses quality." He highlighted Adams' commitment and dedication, noting that the striker arrived with the intention to contribute and possesses several notable attributes. Adams is receptive, displays strong character, supports the collective effort, and has significant potential for further development.

The striker, who joined Venezia from Sevilla during the summer transfer window, has scored four goals and provided one assist in nine appearances for the team. On the international stage, Adams scored a late equalizer as the Super Eagles drew 3-3 with Russia in a friendly match on October 6.
