Good For Atalanta so happy for them and wish them more of today’s Results,they and their Coaches are so happy hence Lookman did not play they so so happy
Man, ademola is gonna suffer with this atalanta team. I dont see them doing well this season at all. Ademola did, what do the english say “throw the tows out the pram” or in translation threw a tantrum because he couldnt get what he want, a move to another club. Ivan juric a coach with no good credentials. He had an offer for inter and napoli. I didnt like napoli because conte does poor in european competitions. I want these se players to win trophies. He didnt want to go to inter. And inter got beat up in the champions league final that the coach ran out of there to the middle east. But bayern put in a bid for him in which ademola wanted but atalanta didnt want to sell him to bayern. No he has been penalized and ostracized. I agree no one is above the club.
But last year was atalanta best chance to have won trophies with serie a and champions league. They were in 1st place in seria a last year for 3 weeks straight. Analyst labeled atalanta as dark horses or second best in europe, it was because of ademola. But he got injured, missed some games and the dropped 1 point below the automatic round of 16. The team got eliminated by CLUB BRUGGE! It was too late when he returned for the second leg of the playoff, it was 5-2 aggregate.
Now they are saying he has to work back to get in the team. They will be losing without ademola. And they sold their goal scorer to saudi arabia. This club is not matching his ambitions, and you have to save yourself when the ship is sinking. Yoan wissa did that with brentford when they sold brian mbueno to man utd, he didnt want to be stuck on a team that is lost its best player. He was throwing tantrums until he got what he wanted.
