The savage of Gian Piero Gasperini left the star of Atalanta Adela Lookman, who, less than 12 months ago, scored an impressive hat-trick to ensure the largest trophy of the Italian race, was so surprising for most.
But for many familiar with the veteran coach, it was a standard rate.
Gasperini has been widely praised by the goal of a revolution in Bergamo. It has been a great feat transform the fortune of a club into the shadow of European giants AC and Inter Milan. In fact, Atalanta has been achieved and, in the last seasons, he eclipsed the seven -time winners of the Champions League, while they are one of the challenges looking to destroy themselves in series A in this term.
However, the 'deeply hurtful' mockery of Gasperini in Lookman after its penalty in the defeat of the DEA Champions League by the Brugge Club has brought to light its catalog clashes with the former players.
Lookman is the last in a growing list to object to the methods of 67. Perhaps the most surprising part of the most recent episode is the disposition of the Nigerian international to publicly face the former midfielder while he is still in the club.
After Gasperini called him 'one of the worst penalty plaintiffs' he had seen, Lookman went to social networks to share his sadness for his manager's comments.

'In truth, I have dealt with many difficult moments during my time here, most of which I have never spoken because, in my opinion, the team must always be protected and must be the first.
'This makes what happened last night is even more hurtful. Together with our incredible fans, we, as a team, are also suffering with the result of the previous night.
'During the party, the designated penalty policyholder told me to take the penalty; And to support the team, I assumed responsibility at the time of doing so.
“Life is about challenges and turning the pain in the power I will continue to do.”
Lookman, like the other players on this list, will soon start with Bergamo after having made a non -edible brand in the club's history. Gaspirini has not yet responded to the statement of the end, but according to the evidence presented by the old stars, it could be in the cold until summer.
The Fallout arrives nine months after Lookman dismissed the club to his first European trophy.

Joakim Maehle
Another recent critic of Gaspirini is the International of Denmark Joakim Maehle, who spent two seasons at the Gewiss stadium.
The defender criticized the manager for directing the team as a dictatorship and recalled an incident when the Italian opposed his young compatriot Rasmus Hojlund an elevator for training.
'The coach decided everything. And there really was no freedom, “journalists told the Danish site Tipsbladet.dk. 'Event although I lived in a pleasant place and the weather was good, I did not have time to enjoy it because we spent many days and hours in the training field.
'It was super hard. Even if you played a great game the weekend, and the next one did not play too well for 20 minutes, you would return to the back of the tail.
'There was no continuity you see in other places. Mentally, I could feel that I really needed a change.
It is said that Maehle smiled when a journalist asked if being in the club felt like 'a prison', adding: 'You are saying it.'
From Gasperini, he said: 'He really decided everything. Sometimes, when we had a double training session, he said we should stay and sleep at training facilities, so we were not allowed to return home.
'You don't feel like a person. You feel like a number. You have no relationship with the coach. He would stop there and blame someone for something strange.

'For example, I was furious when Rasmus (Hojlund) and I came to train by car together.
'I didn't want us to drive together. Because then we could sit and talk together on the way to training, and enjoy ourselves. I didn't want that, and they scold me even if he had agreed with the club because he (Hojlund) had no driver.
“I don't know if they are typical Italians,” Maehle continued. “But some things make you angry and tire in the long run.”
Papu Gomez
The Argentine was a key member of the first Gasperini team in Atalanta and spent eight seasons at the Club under Italian in total.
Gómez painted another image of the veteran, not only a work addict that makes unreasonable demands of his players, but, according to the extreme, an abusive boss.
The tiny striker accused the manager of trying to physically attack him in the locker room for an incident in the field in the Champions League match against Midtjylland in December 2020.
Understandably, his relationship did not recover and Gomez left the club in the January transfer window.
Unlike some of the other cases, the story of Gasperini and Gómez Hasa Happy Fining, as the couple reconciled last May. 'La Paz', as reported by Football ItalyHe was negotiated by the assistant of the manager of Atalanta, Tullio Gritti, and the owner of Caffe del Tasso in Bergamo, who is a good friend of the couple.
The meeting took place in front of the Europa League and Coppa Italia finals, so perhaps the Italian was in a particularly cheerful humor.

The Turkish defender Merih Demiral supported the claims of his former teammate Maehle
Merih Demiraral
It is unlikely that Turkish defender Merih Demiral firm a peace agreement with Gasperini at the time shortly after his two -stations spell with the DEA. Demiral supported the claims of his former teammate Maehle on social networks in September 2023, writing: 'Everything is true. You will learn all the facts soon, wait for the interview.
In the aforementioned sit, he said: 'I did not say goodbye when I left Bergamo, and no longer contacted me. Gasperini as a coach is not in debate, the results speak for him.
'But I don't like their way of treating players. Humanly, I prefer Zerbi, Sarri and Pirlo: I would go to dinner with them, not with Gasperini.
