Fans back Lookman amid conflict with Gasperini

After missing a penalty against Club Brugge, Atalanta head coach Gian Piero Gasperini publicly criticized forward Ademola Lookman. However, despite past incidents, Bergamaschi fans have made their stance clear in this conflict.

Details: According to Marca, Atalanta supporters displayed a banner at the club’s training center in Zingonia, showing support for Lookman with the message: "Thank you, Mola, don’t be afraid to take penalties."

In the past, when Gasperini clashed with players—such as Alejandro Gómez a few years ago—fans typically sided with the coach. This time, the reaction is different.

The tension between Gasperini and Lookman is believed to have started last summer when the Nigerian requested to leave Atalanta in August, a move that reportedly frustrated the coach.

Reminder: Lookman previously stated that Gasperini’s criticism was painful for him.
