Lookman and Gasperini Make Peace After Juventus Win
Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini and Ademola Lookman seem to have patched things up after sharing a hug during La Dea’s 4-0 win over Juventus at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday.
Their relationship had been tense since last month when Lookman missed a penalty in a Champions League match against Club Brugge. Things got worse when Lookman ignored Gasperini after being substituted in the following game against Empoli.
Lookman, who scored Atalanta’s fourth goal against Juventus, was substituted 10 minutes before the end and hugged Gasperini on the sideline, signaling that the tension might be over.
“When a group spends 300 days together each year, disagreements happen,” Gasperini said after the match. He praised Lookman’s growth, saying the winger has become a better player by understanding the team dynamic.
“He used to play more individually, but now he’s more connected with the team. Lookman made Atalanta better, and Atalanta made him better. I’m convinced he could become the captain before the season ends,” Gasperini added.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
