Sometimes we can be pushed to anger to say something we never intended saying, well I want to believe this was a statement made as a quick reaction towards what he did, in life, we have to realize that people will not look on the good you have been consistent about doing over the years, the moment you made a mistake then that supercede over all the good ones he has been doing for long, that is why being a professional in his field requires steady consistency.
That is an ungrateful response from the coach, you can never hear a better coach like Guardiola or Arne Slot make such a statement. Whoose fault did they lose the game, one man cannot lead the whole squad, so why only talk about Lookman, what about the rest players in the squad. I think something secret is ongoing under the management, they are tired of the player forgetting what he did for the club, what they got last season was an effort from the player which a harsh statement has been made.
It's not about being tired of Lookman; it's about the skin color of being an African player". Many African players have been treated badly in this manner because of a simple mistake they made in a match that contributed to their match loss. Remember how Osimhen was treated in Napoli despite all his contributions to the team's progress. Where is he today?
However, it's about time for Africans to rise up to put a stop to this backlash from coaches or fans against African players. They can't be of help for our services, to later castigate us when we make a mistake. That's not sportsmanship, that's racist in disguise
Then those clubs or coaches rather that abuse African footballers over little errors should stop buying them if they think they're not good enough, instead of jumping into conclusions over their errors, in football nobody is above errors, we've seen the best of the best make silly errors, even miss the easiest of goals but then people praise them rather than abuse them, it's just about the skin colour and that needs to change.
I don't think it's only towards Nigerian players but black skin players in general, they receive racial attacks more even on and off the pitch and it's so unfair, despite different campaigns against racial abuse on black footballers, it's still ongoing, to even make it worst, some coaches that are supposed to be good examples are even making it more easier for fans to backlash their players, I just love that the club made him apologise to Lookman in the open and that should be an example to other clubs concerning how to handle situations like these if it arises in the future.
