Ademola Lookman, following his missed penalty in Atalanta’s recent Champions League defeat, expressed his disappointment over coach Gian Piero Gasperini’s derogatory comments about his penalty-taking abilities. Lookman, who was a half-time substitute and scored quickly in the match, emphasized that his efforts and commitment to the club should be recognized. He felt Gasperini's remarks were disheartening, especially since the assigned penalty taker had permitted him to take the shot. Despite the setbacks and hurtful comments, Lookman is determined to use this experience as motivation moving forward.
Being singled out in the manner I have been not only hurts but feels deeply disrespectful, not least because of the immense hard work and commitment I have always put in each and every day to help bring success to this club.
Life is about challenges and turning pain into power, which I'll continue to do.
