My people, e be like say Atalanta go dey feel am this weekend as dem prepare to face Genoa without their star boy, Ademola Lookman. This coach wey dey call Daniele De Rossi don yan say Lookman no dey play for dem, na big loss for dem. Dem go clash for matchday 16 for Serie A this Sunday, and lookman don pack him bags go represent Naija for AFCON.
De Rossi talk say Lookman na the kind player wey each coach go wan for him team. He even say if he dey coach am, he go always want am for pitch because that guy fit change game with just one move. Lookman no dey on top him best form this season, but him danger don still dey there like serious jam when you no fit dodge, you sabi?
Currently, Atalanta dey sit down for 12th position with just 19 points, wey no dey sweet for dem at all. Meanwhile, Genoa dey manage 16th position with 14 points, close to relegation zone wey fit make dem pack their things go lower league. But make no mistake, Lookman might not dey shine like before, but every match wey e dey play like left winger, na serious issue for opposition defenders.
Dis 28-year-old player don score 2 goals for 11 Serie A matches this season, but him dey always dey feature for starting XI under coach Raffaele Palladino. Since wey e come join dem from RB Leipzig three years ago, Lookman don bag 55 goals and 26 assists in 134 matches, na big achievement o! Now, as e don carry him waka go AFCON, e dey prepare to shine again, especially for di opening match against Tanzania.
All eyes go dey on am as Naija makers dey hope say e go help dem replicate dat fire wey dem carry go for di 2023 AFCON final wey dem play for Ivory Coast last year. Omo Naija get weight wey dey carry; we always dey show say we fit deliver when e matter pass. Whether na for club or national team, we dey run show!
