“Lookman Has Always Scored but He Owes Atalanta Too” – Gasperini Says
Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini is standing firm in his dispute with Ademola Lookman.
The tension between the two started last week after Atalanta crashed out of the UEFA Champions League. Gasperini criticized Lookman for missing a crucial penalty, which didn’t sit well with the Nigerian forward. Lookman fired back, calling the remarks disrespectful.
Despite Atalanta’s dominant 5-0 win over Empoli on Sunday, Gasperini didn’t hold back. He acknowledged Lookman’s contributions but made it clear that the player also owes a lot to the club.
“Lookman has always been a goal scorer, at least since he joined Atalanta,” Gasperini said in his press conference. “He’s an incredible player, especially when he plays for the team. I also appreciate that he feels a strong connection with the fans.”
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.
