17 should be the floor, personally would be disappointed if he doesn't hit 20 itl

Nico makes an angled run to attack the farpost and get on the end of the header and Enzo exploits the lane to attack the nearpost and get on the end of the rebound.
Movement matters.
It's not my favourite movement style but I'm gaining more of an appreciation for the ways Osimhen moves to the farpost
His footwork when the ball switches sides is beautiful
Ig if you characterize "false 9" based on intentions rather than movements, it could fit
His in to out runs were mainly to vacate spaces for teammates to attack whereas Osimhen's are done to either receive through balls or attack the farpost when the ball is switched to the opposite flank
Certain 9s who got called "false 9s" just bc they are/were diminutive but then you watch them and they're p much just regular 9s
Like Tadic 19/20's movements were more similar to someone like Osimhen (in2out runs between FB/CB) albeit with different intentions
Think Lukaku was the player who really hammered this home for me, the only real difference between him at United vs him during the (first) Inter spell was better weight management
Otherwise it was just the same player in a diff environment
Watching Osimhen footage from 19/20 just for shits and giggles and it's almost jarring how unchanged he is in the 5~ years since, and I don't even mean that in a bad way
Always funny watching footage of a player in their earlier days just bc of how familiar it all looks
Players rarely change at a fundamental level in senior football, the same movements, ideas, techniques they use at 20 they'll keep using at 27
