The emboldened is not entirely true

www.dailysabah.com/football/2015/08/25/irony-of-fate-for-turkish-coach/amp

There are many other aspects where players just take spot kicks against the wishes of the coach.

Not entirely true you said but somehow, it's true especially when you're playing a match that decides your next move in a tournament. The one we're talking about was one of them
The coach should rather blame himself for not assigning a player to do that and not venting his anger on the innocent guy, who scored the only goal in the match

I don't like arguing with people that are naive with how football works ...lookman had been injured for about a month , and u expect him to start a game , where that one de happen?? It's certain u have never even payed the game b4 ... go ask any local football player that nonsense u just suggested , that a player that had been injured and still recovering should start a game .... so u think he's fit... lol.. All these novice wey I de argue with sef

Who is talking about his fitness or starting a game?
You better learn to read and understand English
What were the other players doing conceding 3 goals unreplied in the first half and why did the coach's useless tactics not saved them from that catastrophe?
Why blame Lookman when they were already 0-3 down and 1-5 on aggr before he took to the pitch
What does all that have to do with fitness and starting games audio footballer?

cr7lomo:
Any small thing , all u mediocre analyst will claim racism , due to ur inferiority complex... lookman 4kd up... so because he scored earlier , the team should now do whatever he wants against the teams rules .... just because he's a Nigerian, u have decided to throw ur sense of reason like a woman on her period.... everyone knows Bruno takes the spot kick for united ...imagine if they are 3 down and garnacho comes in the game and scores a goal and then they get a penalty and garnacho decides to take the spot kick when Bruno is on the pitch and then misses it , ruining their chance to advance ...I know that u will start to criticise garnacho, so as the coach and fans for taking the spot kick when they had Bruno... be logic in ur reason and stop reasoning like a woman

Your usual style of using half-truths to try to prove fallacies will still not make your point valid.

Using Garnacho to compare Lookman is a mismatch. Garnacho is an almost useless player with or without penalties. Now replace Garnacho with Amad in your example and tell me whether the Coach will tell Amad on live tv that he's the worst penalty taker he's ever seen and should not have taken the penalty.

You have been missing the point in all your comments. Yes, Lookman should have followed the penalty pecking order; Yes, fans have the right to be angry; Yes; his miss might have dampened their morale just as his goal must have lifted it moments earlier;

But those words should never have come from his Coach. They may come from fans but not the coach. Amorim would never do that to Amad. I have not seen a coach strongly criticize a key player for missing a penalty. Not to Pendu or Messi, Gyan, Suarez, Trezeguet, Jorginho and even Baggio himself.

Lukman has even scored penalties for Atalanta before. So it's not that it was overly outrageous for him to have considered taking it. Frankly, it's baffling for a Coach to hinge his team's poor performance on a missed penalty that was not a guarantee for a comeback.

Even Vinicius Jnr. just last year here. He looks too African.

Just imagine. I even forgot to mention that. Isn't that obvious?

NO, You 🫵🏾 and your people are the ENVIOUS SNAKES.

In response to what Gasperini said about Ademola Lookman's penalty loss, Ademola Lookman has come out to state his own side of the story

NewDigitalWorld:
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.

where is Sallah on the list

Your comment is so true!

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

AirBere:
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.

I think you need to check again. Lookman has a better penalty record than Mbappe
Below is Lookman's response. Read and give yourself and the foolish coach a knock on the head

This is what the coach said below. It tells you that he rates Retegui and Dekatere for PK but Lookman forced the issue. Wouldn't have been an issue if he scored though. Yeah, it's not entirely true but with some truth. Also coached fccked up by going public. Should've done so in the dressing room.

He was publicly criticised because he was just crowned recently publicly.

The energy is equal its not about being an ingrate.

Oyinbo knows how to serve it right when it gets wrong and vice versa

zoghys:
And i suppose you know, lecture mi naw

Pull rank means to use seniority in the team

Lookman is not senior to De Kataeleare or Retugui in the team

But trust me you see one thing.


This life will throw jabs at you but no just panic.

This public criticism go make Ademola lookman fall from 100 to nothing


Blacks are never sure of themselves and the white man can use that weakness on us.

Lookman had better understand that the spotlight is on him now.


Yeah great players have lost penalty kicks but still they kept on running stronger and better

Warrior99:
Not only are you 🫵🏾 a stupid BIGOT but a FOOL!

During the match, the designated penalty taker instructed Lookman to take the penalty.

It's like u watched ur own match on super Nintendo

When have you ever seen a coach blame a player for missing a penalty
Strictly speaking from a sporting angle, penalties are a game of chance

Yea, I read the emboldened part. The blame should go to the coach not lukmon cos the match was a crucial one. He should have insisted and lukman wouldn't have objected. But as a boss, he'd always exonerate himself. He's an employee too, his job could be on the line. He has been scoring penalties no be today, a good point to note.

He's right
Lookman released a statement this morning

PENIEL2018:

Exactly!

I rewatched the moment and didnt see where any of his team mates including the supposed designated penalty taker asked for the ball to take the penalty. All of them just stood aside and he took responsibility.

At least this is not in the mold of the Gbalmer, Gbadueke and Gbakson penalty circus.

Only Ice Cold Palmer haven't missed a penalty

They now see who to blame now... Coach way don dey chop 3 goals bfor lookman comes in

Nah, the emboldened is why the coach is actually pissed. Lookman is poor on penalties right from his Fulham days. He's not good at penalties and you can look it up.

Like I said earlier, the coach needed to do this in private

Alfaab:
The best of footballers have always lost one penalty or the other.Penalty is an opportunistic event that can either be taken or lost.
The loss really got to that coach.

Let us reason this way, Is the main penalty taker. Was he instructed by the coach to take it against the first and second choice as the coach mentioned those players.

The guy is just running his own personal agenda. Replace Lookman with Cristiano in the same scenario and see how he would change mouth sharparly.

You keep yapping on about his Fulham penalty records. The fact is that he has scored penalties for Atalanta before and the Coach did not cry about why he was taking them then.

Did you even watch how the event actually played out during the match? None of the designated penalty takers challenged Lookman for the ball to take the penalty. If they could not enforce the Coach's instructions, then the blame falls on them as well and they should be called out publicly in similar vein by the same coach.

The collateral damage of publicly sacrificing your star player over an event that does not guarantee them a win in a game they lost 5 -2 is downright ridiculous and I'm surprised you are not looking at it from this angle.

Messi scored a great goal vs PSG but missed a penalty shortly after in 2021 UCL. The praise superseded the criticism as on the balance of play, PSG won 5-2 on aggregate. A sensible coach knows this.
