Ademola Lookman responds to the comments

Adimula Likman strongly returned to the comments of Jian Piero Gasperini, “Never respect” about a penalty kick in the defeat of Atalanta to Bruges Club, where his manager described him as “one of the worst penalties I have seen ever.”

Atlanta was removed from the Champions League by the Belgian team thanks to a total defeat of 5-2 in the leaving match, with a 3-1 defeat in Bergamo on Tuesday night, sealing their fate.

After a 3-0 decrease in the first half, Lakman scored his team’s only goal per night in the second half after returning from the absence of three games due to a knee injury.

But the moment she seemed to have killed Atlanta’s hopes, when he saw the 27 -year -old that a penalty was saved by Simon Minolite shortly.

After the match, coach Giasperini said: “Lookman was not supposed to take this punishment, as he is one of the worst applicants in the punishment I have ever seen.

“He has a terrible record, frankly even in training, turning a very few of them. Regewi and De Keteleier was there, but Lukman was in a moment of enthusiasm after scoring. He decided to take the ball and this was a gesture that I did not appreciate at all.”

Lookman criticizes the comments of Giasperini

The Nigerian international, who was recently appointed an African soccer player for this year, spoke publicly against his manager for his comments after the match.

Lukman said: “He saddens me on a day like this to write this statement – and most of all because of what we achieved together as one team and as a city.

“That I have been allocated in the way that I was painful, but I also feel unresolved, not the least due to the hard work and the tremendous commitment that I always put every day to help.

“In fact, I dealt with many difficult moments during my presence here – most of them have never talked about because in my opinion the team should always be protected and must come first. This makes what happened last night more painful.

“Along with our amazing fans, we as one team also fresh with the outcome of last night. During the match, Taker commanded me to assemble the penalty; to support the team, I took responsibility at the present time to do so.

“Life is about challenges and the pain turns into strength, which I will continue to do.”
