Diego Simeone on Ademola Lookman:
“Lookman mainly brings goals. More goals than overall play. He can still improve his overall play and defensive work. We need him to adapt to the team’s way of playing in those aspects. His message is that he wants to improve as a footballer. He has that goal-scoring instinct, those goals he has scored are no coincidence. But we also need more from him in the overall game.”
