BERGAMO (ITALPRESS) – “Lookman? He had an extraordinary impact on the game, mine was not meant to be an offensive sentence. Yesterday we had in Udinese-Lecce what could have been a worldview play, luckily there were guys who let it go. He can become a penalty taker, that would be an additional scoring ability. I almost have the feeling that there is a desire for Atalanta to be described that way, all for air, but the reality is a little different. I always speak in front of the whole team, it is something that has never touched the club. He was offended, but I did not want to offend anyone.” This was stated by Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini in a press conference regarding the back-and-forth that occurred between the coach and the Nigerian striker after the missed penalty and subsequent elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Bruges. On the eve of the match in Empoli (“We have to give our best against a good team that is fighting for salvation”), Gasperini talks about his future and his words are important: “Rightly, as has been said, in all things there is a beginning and an end, we will see at the end of the year whether to go to expiration (2026) or whether to stop already at the end of this season. There will be no further renewals after this,” the Atalanta coach concluded. – Photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS)
