Atalanta coach Gian Piero Garperini has said his comments on Ademola Lookman’s missed penalty against Club Brugge were not meant to offend the player.
Gasperini described Ademola Lookman as the team’s “worst penalty taker” and that the miss caused Atalanta to be booted out of the UEFA Champions League.
The Super Eagles striker said the comments of the coach hurt and were disrespectful.
“Lookman felt offended, but I didn’t want to offend anyone. He entered with fantastic approach against Club Brugge”, the coach said.
“If he starts training to improve on penalties… with his exceptional skills Ademola can become our first penalty taker.”
