Ademola Lookman don pour ginger well-well after Atletico Madrid use sense collect 2-0 win for Barcelona hand, inside di first leg of dia UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash for Camp Nou.
Di Super Eagles winger talk say di team discipline and how dem join bodi as one na him be di main reason why dem get dat result, na weytin hitvibz dey yan be dat.
Ademola Lookman React as Atletico Show Dem Pepper
Even though Barcelona bin just win dia domestic match before dis game, Diego Simeone boys show say dia eyes open and dem know wetin dem come do.
Atletico no get plenty chances, but di small ones dem get, dem use am well. Dem show say when e come to big European nights, dem no dey play.
Julian Alvarez na him first fire in one correct free-kick, before Alexander Sorloth come add second goal when 20 minutes remain for game to end. Dis win don give dem heavy advantage before di return leg.
As Lookman dey talk after di match, di Naija international hail di whole team and how dem defend well take make sure say Barcelona no see any goal score for dat kind difficult night.
“E be like film, di result make sense and di way di team play, especially as we no gree dem score any goal for here. E show di work wey everybody don dey put and how we be like family.
“If you talk so, you know say as we score after dem red-card one of dia players, dat one sef help us. Julian Alvarez free-kick get levels, and Alex (Sorloth) goal for second half come at di right time.”
Ademola Lookman Wan Keep di Fire Burning as Atletico Target Semi-Final
Di way Atletico play based on how dem arrange demselves and how dem get patience. Simeone tactical setup block Barcelona from doing any major damage, while him boys dey wait for di right time to strike.
Di Spanish side get only five shots for di whole game, but as dem sharp for front of goal, dat one na him matter pass.
Lookman, wey play for 60 minutes and give one key pass, follow di team plan wey focus on to balance di game instead of just to dey attack anyhow.
Even though e no get plenty chance to show him skills for front, di work wey e do help di team structure well.
“Barcelona na top team, no be lie, and dem put us for tight corner many times. Small wahala bin dey but we stand gidigba together. Di return leg go be big challenge, big game, we know. We need to cool head. We go take am one-by-one.
“E don dey sweet, e don dey make sense, make e just continue like dis.”
Dis win don put Atletico for strong position before di second leg for Wanda Metropolitano. However, dem still get di lesson wey dem learn for Copa del Rey for head, especially di danger of just staying back to defend too much.
Simeone team, wey still dey find dia first-ever Champions League trophy after dem lose final for 2014 and 2016, go need to sabi how dem go balance defense and attack to finish di work.
With two goals for pocket, if dem cool head and play with sense, e fit reach to carry dem go semi-finals.
