And If he had scored , he will not be angry again abi ?? All these hypocrites and white ass lickers

Where were you and the coach when the same arrogance made him score hat trick last year ? Nonsense hypocrites

As in eeeehhh don’t mind the mugu

judewrites:
The coach is just using lookman as a public scapegoat... penalty taking is 50-50.

Ademola came in the 2nd half, scored and turned the match around. It was unfortunate that he missed, but even Italy's great Roberto baggio missed the last kick at WORLD CUP 1994 final.

Was Roberto Baggio assigned to take the penalty or he went for it on his own authority

If you bypass the assigned penalty takers then YOU MUST SCORE

Lookman is a fool to have missed it and he should learn to STAY HUMBLE

Read the post again with an open mind and just maybe you'd understand the Coach's anger.

Selfish modafoka

You're writing nonsense. Fans dragging a player is different from a coach's.
How would the miss have brought them back? Are you aware they were 5-2 down on aggregate and losing 1-3 that night?
So he scores the kick and they go 5-3 on aggregate and 2-3 on the night which means they still need to score two more goals. How will the spot kick have brought them back?

Barca were 5.1 down against psg by the 30min of the 2nd leg , even with the away goals advantage that year ... they got 2 spot kicks , Messi and Neymar slotted both home... imagine if suarez that's not a spot kick taker decided to take one against the coaches instructions an missed ... it would have killed their spirit and they would have lost that game ... the coach would have criticised him for taking the spot kick when Messi and Neymar that are regular spot kick takers were on the pitch ....that miss cost them that game

Ojuntana:
And was he ever mistreated like Osimhen was?

You tell me...

White man don't appreciate blacks that no matter how you killed yourself, this is a guy that missed your first leg that you were thrashed and still scored in the return leg

Typical Oyibo way, if it goes well they take the glory, if it goes south, the blacky in the team takes the fall. Super Mario said he wished Africa will have her own league, so that her players can stay back and play in Africa. These people put a lot of mental stress on African professionals, not just in football, imagine your coach saying this after you have missed a penalty, a coach who should know better.

Somebody should tell the coach club brugge no small o ..🤔

Killed which spirit? Barca were all over PSG from the get go in that match

Are you aware atalanta did not score a single goal in the first half and had to bring in lookman in the second half when they were 3 goals down?

Why didn't the stupid coach start lookman? He waited till they were 3 goals down before bringing on lookman who did what his useless teammates couldn't do for 46 minutes and the useless coach who watched for 45minutes while his team were being annihilated is blaming him?

That coach is very mad I say. He's just looking to deflect from the useless performance of his team and his terrible tactics. 11 shots and just one goal. Why didn't the other 9 go in?

Anger talking....

cr7lomo:
In football, u are only judged according to ur last game ... people criticised pep this season , saying he needs to step down after series of bad results ... Ranieri was sacked the following season after winning the premiership with Leicester against all odds .... Del Bosque was sacked after winning 2 European titles abd the world cup for Spain after the disastrous defence of their world cup title ... that's football for u .... Escoba was shut and killed cos he scored an own goal that eliminated colombia in the 94 WC despite his great achievements for his country, Aubumeyang was axed by arsenal despite keeping arsenal alive during their time of despair., Roberto Baggio lost his status when he lost his penalty that gave brazil the cup in 94 , he never recovered after that .. that's football for u...it has nothing to do with racism

You go just dey cap upandan...!

What exactly is your point?!!

Of all the players to call out, why Ademola?!!

Atalanta conceded 3 goals in the first half, and their consolation goal came from Lookman who didn't even start the game.

Why didn't he call out the defence?!! Or the goalkeeper?!!

Even the penalty wasn't in anyway getting them back into a game they were losing by 3 goals in aggregate. So, what was the point picking on your star player?!!

That's immature and stupid, as it will draw racist connotations from the media.

Yep... Lookmam should have known his place, but the anger and wording of the coach are unnecessary.

There are things you say solely in private.

This wasn't even a crucial penalty tbh... Atalanta lost that game in the first half.

He should have even been calling out his entire silly defenders, one of whom got sent off.

Atlanta not winning their next match na surest bet.

They don't know that pressure would have doubled if that goal had gone in and in football, 5 mins is a lot of time to change things.

You can't make them understand that Lookman's action was bad.

This oyinbo people are just ungrateful sometimes.

Even if you want to criticize your player, do it in private.

Talk to him one on one, don't just go to a press conference and start criticizing your star player publicly.

Anyone can miss a Penalty.

Messi have missed a penalty.

C. Ronaldo have missed a penalty.

Hazard have missed a Penalty.

Neymar have missed a penalty.

Mbappe have missed a penalty.

Kane have missed a penalty

Anyone can miss a Penalty.

This is a player that won a Europa League for you.

I hope this won't affect Lookman confidence.

Hmmm.

If he is not the default PK taker and he insisted on taking the PK then the coach may get angry.

Thesame players he mentioned have equally missed important penalties in this year’s competition. If Retigui had scored the one against Arsenal to win them the game, the won’t prolly be in playoff place to begin with. He shd rather focus on his bad team selection that made them concede 3 goals in the 1st half instead.

cr7lomo:
Lookman had been injured for weeks ...u don't start a player that just got back from injury...he even took a risk playing him yesterday

No I think before then he was., at least fairly fit.

In fact would it not have been better to bring him in early and substitute later?

Gasperini or whatever he's called goofed for his subjective outburst. How would a manager speak in that manner and still expect the best from the accused player?

[b]One of the worst penalty takers I’ve ever seen, Atalanta’s coach criticises Lookman.

This man is MAD for saying that. A guy who single handedly gave them Europa league trophy

Why go against his team? He is not the number one penalty taker in his team. Why did he go and take it.

He was too over confident and the players let him take it without any hassles ..
He should have let katalaeere or Pasalic even cudrado

Thanks.... many people have issues with comprehension.
The club has PK takers and lookman isn't one of them but he took the ball even when the assigned PK takers where available.

cr7lomo:
I don't know how u guys reason... lookman wasn't meant to take the spot kick, he isn't a spot kick taker , but he took the ball due to arrogance, cos he scored their first goal ...he then missed it..it will anger any coach ...

Racism in another way

You got the strength and ability to be ahead so do as if you didn't hear them and lead on

Life is full of people to criticize even when you are at the top

Remove arrogance from your post. It's an antonym of lukman. The whole world knows this, except you have a personal issue with this cool headed guy. Was it his first penalty take? Had he never scored penalties shoot? What if he scored that penalty and his club still didn't make it to the finals? Think about it.

Even as arrogant as Ronaldo is, he had missed crucial penalties , not once, not twice. Stars like messi, mbape, similarly

That's not how it works ...he wasn't even available in last weekends game...he had been out for about 3 to 4 weeks ... when a player has been injured for a while, u don't start him when he just recovered...... beginning of games are usually intensive due to high energy level and again., u will need ur best players in the second half than the first ...

Ojuntana:
What is Mbappe's penalty record
What is Lookman's penalty record
The coach couldn't have lost it if Lookman had white skin would he
Was Lookman the only player who missed chances last night?
Why didn't he call the rest out for their mistakes

You're not getting the point. Mbape's conversation rate is very good and almost elite. I think it's even better than that of Messi last time I checked. Lookman is poor on penalties like I said you can look this up. His record is that bad especially at Fulham.

He wanted to take the penalty after scoring a goal. He took the ball despite Retegui and De Keteleare being available to take it… I didn’t like what Lookman did,” Gasperini added

The above is why the coach got angry. There were better penalty takers in Retegui and Dekatere but Lookman forced the issue and missed. It would've been a different story had he scored. Any coach would be upset but the real problem is doing it in public. This is where I don't support the coach as doing it in private was the best but he lost it. He was angry and that's that.

I don't know if you get it now. If you don't, no wahala. I'll not be responding again as I'm tired of going back and forth.

Every team has an assigned pk player ...if the assigned pk player missed it, then its fine ...but when an unassigned player takes the kick without he approval of the coach and he misses it, then its a problem... u saying even if he scored , it wasn't a guarantee... but u forget that football is a game of believing and high spirit.... that miss killed the teams spirit to believe they could do it ...it always happens in football... that miss will automatically demoralise the players , psychologically, they will start to believe that its not their day ...
