WhiteIverson:

You can see where he said Lookman decided to take the penalty. There are some instances where some players would stubbornly refuse to give the penalty to the designated penalty taker to take the penalty.

It still means he doesn't have control over the team he is managing.

They av started again the way Napoli did to osimhen

This coach is a fool.

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.

Make we hear word. If you're not the designated penalty taker and you insist on taking it in such a crucial game, then you MUST score. The criticism is justified.

And he did not win anything for them, he was just one member of the team that won.

zoghys:


shut up ur mouth joor, if a designated player losses a penalty then that's understandable but when you're pulling rank at d expense of the team, then a coach has the right to criticize pubicly if need be

💯

It will definitely affect his confidence but I hope not to

blowjohn:
This same idiot of a coach left lookmaan and another fantastic player on the bench during a cup final some weeks ago and got dragged by fans for leaving out lookmaan until the dying minutes.

Now he wants to use psychology to make it seem like lookmaan isn't good

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

Hmmm

Softmirror:


It still means he doesn't have control over the team he is managing.

Unfortunately you can't always control your players from the sidelines. A similar thing happened in a Chelsea game where Jackson and Madueke were fighting to take a penalty instead of the usual taker Palmer.

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.

NewDigitalWorld:
God bless you, this same Lookman won Europa League for this ungrateful Man.

This is how Osimhen saga started.

You will win for them and they will still take you for granted.

mumu talk, na only him win d europa. Dey won has a team, stop justifying bs

Which kind foolish coach be dis?

How can you be criticising one of your important players for missing a spot kick

African players go through a lot!!

Are you high

Where have you ever seen a coach criticise a player for missing a spot kick

He can only do that nonsense with an African player

LibertyRep:
To even think he had scored a goal earlier in the same match.

The coach no try.

Why allow him take the penalty since you know he is the worst taker you have ever known?

Why even concede 3 goals only to look for a scapegoat who lost a penalty?

The reality is that Lookman is actually a terrible penalty taker. His penalty record is poor. You can check the stats.

Also, like many of us, we would have preferred the coach did it in the dressing room but yeah he said it out because of this....

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

From the above, you can see that there are better takers in Retegui and De keterelare but Lookman forced the issue and the coach was upset. He should have done so in the dressing room but Lookman should've allowed better takers to take the pen because he's poor at it.

All Lookman needs to do now is the manage the situation better and not burn bridges like Osimhen. We have to be objective.

If penalty takers ahead of him were available then the ref is right.

As for Lookman, STAY HUMBLE!

doyin01:


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

White ass. Licker how ?? For being factual?? He didn't score that's what happened... if its 2 to beat one , u are expected to draw the last defender b4 ing the ball to ur second to make the goal easy cos thats the best option, but if u decide to go solo, u must score that goal cos if u miss it, the blast u will get from teammates and fans will be massive , even if u are their top player..... he wasn't the best option for the penalty, but his arrogance dint let him leave it for the teams penalty taker ....

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 ...

Who is a spot kick taker

You mean the coach was angry that he took the kick not that he missed?

The coach must be mad

People will not be objective because he's our player. Lookman had Retegui Nd Decatelre on the pitch who are better takers but rushed the pen and missed.

Only issue here is the coach going public. Lookman deserved to be reprimanded but in private.

Remove emotions!

He is a terrible penalty-taker.

Ask Fulham fans.

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.

It would have been different if he was the number one penalty taker in the field.

cr7lomo:


He dint win Europa for them singlehandedly...he contributed, just like other players ... if others dint provide the assists , or the defenders dint defend well or the goalie dint keep the ball out of the net , or those that also scored on the road to the final ...lookman no for see cup win... oshinmeh don comot , Napoli are leading with 13 games to go and are in poll position to win seria a without him

So why didn't the coach criticised those who failed to assist, defend, keep the ball out of the net or score their own goals yesterday?

The coach is mad

U are the one reasoning upside down here. The coach is entitled to is press statement but but to slam your player with the word (WORST PLYER ) it's disrespectful

Ojuntana:

The coach is angry because he missed, period. Also a spot kick taker is the designated player to take penalties. All clubs have one. At United, it's Fernandez, at Chelsea, it's Palmer, Liverpool, Salah, Barka, Lewa. Etc.

Lookman is a third choice taker at Atalanta. In addition to this, his penalty record is pretty poor.

The only issue here is the coach scolding him in public

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

Don't mind the clown
His moniker is CR7
Same cr7 that wants to take all free kicks and penalties even when there are far better players who can do it in the squad
He's just a white worshipper

You are not ser ious, Lookman wasn't supposed to take that PK, they have designated players for that but because he has a motive, maybe to have a hattrick or score decisive goals which may help the team qualify and subsequently win him praises from different places(this actually is the main reason why he arrogantly denied those designated to take it from taking it), he did not allow any of them to take it and they can't fight it because of many reasons.
Had it been they willingly allowed him to take it and it is not him who arrogantly went for it, it will be another case.

And since he missed it, the coach is angry that he broke the team's working protocol which cost the team the qualification, so what are you saying?

One thing with you people is you all like to live in denial.
Make the man dey praise am abi?

Listen, the man wouldn't have complained like this had it been Lookman is one of the team's designated penalty takers.

So hold your emotional talk abeg.

FuckDModz:

Lookman is terrible at penalties, it's a known fact. I don't understand the emotional outburst.

Only problem is the coach did the scolding in public.

Lukuuu..

Exactly!! He wouldn't scold him in public if he was white
That's my point and I stand by it
Who goes about singling a player for criticism for losing a penalty?
Mbappe played a very useless penalty against Liverpool and I didn't hear ancelloti come out to say nonsense

This coach has always been overly critical of Lookman, there were times he pulled him off cos he wasn't contributing to defense, he had also dropped him to the bench (his best player) for no just reason!

santaclaws:
Italian coaches generally behave like mafia bosses. If you perform, they give you props but once you make a mistake, they try to attack you.

You can see a similar pattern with Osimhen's experience at Napoli...

But not with Italian or European players though
