Lookman Seeks 10th Goal of the Season as Atalanta Face AS Roma in Serie A
Ademola Lookman is set to return to action as Atalanta face AS Roma at the iconic Stadio Olimpico in what promises to be a thrilling Serie A encounter.
The Nigerian international, who has been in sensational form this season, will aim to reach a personal milestone by scoring his 10th goal of the campaign.
Lookman, 27, has already found the back of the net nine times across all competitions, proving to be a crucial attacking force for La Dea.
His impressive performances have made him one of Atalanta’s standout players this season.
The winger was rested during the team’s emphatic 6-1 victory over Swiss side Young Boys in their last European outing, giving him fresh legs for today’s clash.
Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini is expected to name Lookman in the starting lineup against AS Roma, a side known for their tactical discipline under manager José Mourinho.
Lookman’s pace, creativity, and goal-scoring ability could be key in breaking down Roma’s defense.
Atalanta head into this fixture in scintillating form, boasting an unbeaten streak of 12 matches in all competitions.
This consistency has propelled them to second place in the Serie A standings, with 28 points from 13 games.
Gasperini’s team has combined solid defensive displays with clinical attacking performances, making them serious contenders in the league this season.
Their opponents, AS Roma, present a formidable challenge, especially on home turf.
Roma, led by Mourinho, are renowned for their defensive organization and ability to thrive in high-pressure matches.
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.”
