Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini did not hold back his criticism of Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman after a penalty blunder in their latest match.
“He wanted to take the penalty after scoring a goal. He took the ball despite Retegui and De Ketelaere being available… I didn’t like what Lookman did,” Gasperini fumed.
The Italian tactician went even further, calling Lookman “one of the worst penalty takers” he has ever seen. The harsh words come after Lookman’s failed spot-kick, raising questions about his decision-making and discipline on the pitch.
Will this public rebuke affect Lookman’s role at Atalanta, or will he bounce back stronger?
