Very true they can’t offend the coach who has brought them glory too. They will just be quiet and let things die down.

Just discovered that now.

More like dictator.

Atalanta fans loved no one like Papu Gomez. Still, the club backed Gasperini over him despite him swinging at the player in the dressing room.

Lookman is as good as gone.

Only uncertainty is will Gasperini use him again.

Get your facts right or keep quiet sometimes:

Maehle, Demiral, Castagne, Papu Gomez

Four players at the prime of their career called him out for running a dictatorship. They didn't even wait till the end of their career.

And notice the trend only the non-Italians have the balls to come out, the Italian players who are the majority of Serie A are probably too scared to talk.

"Resolved amicably." You think as quiet as Lookman is he didn't know the club or coach will not tender an apology first before releasing this statement.

Ademola Lookman scored 34 seconds into the second half in their UCL match against Club Brugge.

That's the fastest goal scored by a second half substitute in Champions League history! 😳
Record breaker! πŸ’₯πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬

Just watching the live draws for the quarterfinals of the CAFCL and CAFCC. Again, no Nigerian club in the mix and this has been normalised.

Just like any other sector or sphere in Nigeria, the simple things are yet to be done.
Everyone is busy clamouring for so and so player in Europe that should be invited as if that’s the solution.
A 2003 Enyimba-Rangers-Sharks team would crush Rwanda, Benin, Zimbabwe and South Africa home and away.

I’m not positing that NPFL players be invited. Of course they are nowhere near that level, but till we actually play football as a team, disgrace awaits us in March.

SCORENigeria can report that Werder Bremen star Felix Agu is also on long wish list of Super Eagles Eric Chelle.

The 25-year-old Agu was recently endorsed by Super Eagles defender Leon Balogun.

This season, the left back, who could also play at right back and on the left side of midfield, has scored two goals and an assist in 10 Bundesliga appearances for Werder Bremen.


He has already been capped by Germany at U21 levels, that was in 2019 and he will therefore need to formally apply for an eligibility switch.

Eric Chelle has drawn up a list of young players with Nigerian roots, who could freshen the Super Eagles in the near future.

The list includes Ethan Nwaneri (Arsenal), George Ilenikhena (AS Monaco), Kazeem Olaigbe (Rennes), Ahmed Abdullahi (Sunderland), Victor Udoh (Southampton) and Samuel Edozie (Anderlecht).

we need to cap George asap, he’s very much available and he doesn’t need to switch at the moment, we need to avoid another Eberechi Eze situation

Ethan Nwaneri kwa....

Different reports keep popping up about different names being included in the list.. I don't think Chelle will be that daft to include a lot of new players in his first call up, especially give the nature of the upcoming games

You guy and this clownish mentality. Everyone is condemning the disrespect from the coach, CAF, NFF, even Atalanta as a club. Nobody is gourding Lookman to take any rash decisions and he has put out a statement and that's it.
Let also make this clarity, Osimhen issue and that of Lookman are not the same. One was disrespected by the club, while the other was the coach and has nothing to do with his club.

You just saw osimhen being gaslighted by fans to do agidi with Napoli and had to sign for a kebab league in his prime for 1 year. (Waste of a year) and your asking Lookman to do the same agidi so he can be blacklisted for one year? Never receive counsel from people that has lack of accountability. Yes, gasperini was wrong but but but, the clubs always has leverage and your a black man

They are the better side. Galatasaray should not even be in this game. AZ have missed like 4 clear chances.
