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.”
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
