“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.”
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.”
