27-year-old Nigerian attacking player of the Italian club "Atalanta" Ademola Lookman has been criticized after his trainer Jean-Pierre Gasperini called him "the worst player on the pitch that he has ever seen," following the team's defeat in the Champions League match against the Belgian club "Club Brugge" on Tuesday. Lookman turned to fans via social media platforms, expressing his pain and disappointment regarding the events that transpired.
"I am saddened that I have to write this statement now, especially after everything we have achieved together as a team and club. To be attacked in this way, as it happened to me, is not only hurtful but makes me feel extremely unappreciated, especially considering the hard work and enormous efforts that I contribute weekly to achieve success for this club and the remarkable fans," said Lookman.
