"Disrespectful". Lookman did not take the criticism of Gasperini at all

Ademola Lookman’s response, Atalanta striker, to his coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, who had accused him of having decided to have decided to pull the penalty against Bruges on the return of the Champions League playoffs, arrived on Instagram. The mistake from the player’s disk would have contributed to the elimination of the Orobic team. “I am saddled by having to write this press release in a day like this, especially for what we have created together as a team and as a city. Being targeted in this way not only hurts me, but it is also very disrespectful, especially for the tiring work and commitment that I have always put every day to bring my contribution to the success of the club and the fantastic Bergamo fans “.

Hard words, those of Lookman, who adds: “To tell the truth I had to face difficult moments during my stay here. I never wanted to speak of most of these because I believe that the team must always be protected and must come before Everything makes this that happened last night even more painful. Kicking the rigor.

Gasperini’s words

To the microphones of the media, Gasperini had commented on Lookman’s decision to kick the penalty that could reopen the qualification discourse. “Lookman is a fundamental player, now having no more commitments in the middle of the week, others must also recover the best condition. But the penalty did not have to pull him.” But not only. The Piedmontese coach had used very strong words. “He kicks badly and with low percentage also in training. The rigorists were De Ketelaere and Rettegui. I understand that he was in confidence for the net but it was not a nice gesture”, explains the Nerazzurri coach.
