Lookman says penalty criticism by own coach ‘deeply disrespectful’

Ademola Lookman has hit back at his own coach, Scott Parker, for publicly criticizing him over a missed penalty, calling it ‘deeply disrespectful’.

The young winger missed a crucial penalty in the dying minutes of a recent match, costing his team valuable points.

In a post-match interview, Parker openly criticized Lookman for his penalty miss, saying it was a moment of ‘arrogance’ and ‘disrespect’ towards his teammates.

Lookman, however, has defended his actions, claiming that it was simply a case of bad luck and that he had been practicing penalties diligently.

He expressed his disappointment at being publicly shamed by his own coach, stating that such criticism should have been kept in-house.

The incident has caused tension within the team, with some players supporting Lookman and others siding with Parker.

Lookman has vowed to work harder and prove his worth to his coach and teammates, despite the public backlash.

Many fans have also come out in support of Lookman, criticizing Parker for his handling of the situation.

It remains to be seen how this controversy will impact the team’s performance in future matches.

Regardless of the outcome, one thing is clear – tensions are running high at the club, and a resolution will need to be found to move forward.
