Atalanta Co-Owner Admits Gasperini Was Wrong to Criticize Lookman
Atalanta co-owner Stephen Pagliuca has admitted that head coach Gian Piero Gasperini was wrong in his remarks about Ademola Lookman.
Gasperini had publicly criticized Lookman after the winger missed a crucial penalty in Atalanta’s 3-1 loss to Club Brugge, calling him “one of the worst penalty takers.” Lookman later responded, saying the comment was “disrespectful.”
Pagliuca, however, insists the issue has been settled within the club. Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, he emphasized that Atalanta operates on a policy of collective responsibility, especially when things don’t go as planned.
“He made a mistake by singling out an individual,” Pagliuca said. “At Atalanta, we take responsibility as a team. We reflect on our own performances and focus on improvement.”
Head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, speaks on team defense and called out a player who needs to toughen up. He shared that Ademola Lookman needs to work on defense.
“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
When asked in a recent interview, he stated “For the best right now, it’s probably [Bukayo] Saka for his all-around game. I will go Salah, because the numbers he’s put up are ridiculous.”
Former player Paul Merson shares his predictions on this weekend’s Premier League games.
He shared Leeds United vs Manchester City – Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Manchester City.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace – Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace.
Arsenal vs Chelsea – Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea.
