Ademola Lookman, the winger for Atalanta BC, is set to lead his team into a critical clash against Fiorentina in the Italian Serie A this Sunday, with the game scheduled to kick off at 6 PM local time. Lookman emphasized the team’s determination to secure a victory as they seek to please their home fans.
Fresh off a convincing 3-0 triumph against Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Champions League, Lookman believes the morale-boosting win will propel their performance against Fiorentina. The forward expressed his joy at returning to form, having scored a stunning goal and provided a key assist during the midweek match in Germany.
His confidence appears to be on the rise, having overcome a challenging start to the season for both his club and national team. Lookman articulated the significance of not just his individual success, but most importantly, the importance of the team’s overall performance.
“Getting back to scoring and rediscovering the feeling of scoring is important to me. But the most important thing for me is the team and that the team won. We’ll take this win and already focus on the weekend’s game. We want to win that one too and continue this journey,” Lookman stated.
With players like David de Gea expected to feature for Fiorentina, this matchup promises to be competitive. Atalanta’s focus will be on maintaining the momentum built in their recent Champions League outing as they look to claim another crucial three points in Serie A. The positivity from their last match could be a key factor as they aim for a solid performance at home.
