“We are a team, we fight together, we win together, we lose together so onto the next game" Lookman charges on disappointing defeat
Ademola Lookman, back in action for Atalanta after his stint at the Africa Cup of Nations, has encouraged his Bergamo to keep pushing following Atalanta's 2-1 home defeat to Bologna on Sunday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Making his first start since his return, Lookman opened the scoring in the 28th minute. However, Gian Piero Gasperini's side squandered several opportunities thereafter.
Bologna seized upon Atalanta's missed chances, netting twice in the second half through Jonathan Zirkzee and Lewis Ferguson.
Reflecting on the match, Lookman stated, "First half was very, very good. We were positive in our play, set the tempo, and then in the second half we didn’t really come out, the same way we came out in the first half so for us it was kind of a game of two halves."
He added, "Disappointment but another game on Wednesday so we can’t really stay disappointed so we get ready for the next game."
Highlighting the team's collective effort, Lookman emphasized, "Two moments they capitalized on the moments and they scored. We are a team, we fight together, we win together, we lose together so onto the next game."
The Nigeria international has now tallied eight goals for Atalanta this season.
