Elisa Cucchi vs Alfredo Pedulla on SportItalia:
- Cucchi: "The situation of #Lookman is really different. Before being called up, he spoke with #Gasperini. He told him: 'I have this situation, I have this offer.' #Gasperini asked him: 'Do you feel like playing?' He replied: 'Look Mister I prefer tbo be bbexcluded'. This is not the right attitude but it was still in agreement with the coach. From that point of view, the problem of #Atalanta is #Koopmeiners because he has set a precedent."
- Pedullà: "He hasn't set any precedents. #Atalanta made a promise to #Koopmeiners that he would be sold if an offer from a club that plays in the Champions arrives. It is not a precedent, I'm always with #Atalanta. That is, I have always praised #Atalanta. But this time I'm on #Koopmeiners's side. When you promise a midfielder that you will sell him, an offer comes and you wait because of your legitimate pride, I am with #Koopmeiners on this. Because you tell him that #Atalanta changed its mind for a moment as it was believed that he would stay. And why is #Koopmeiners stressed, because from his point of view, and to me a legitimate one, he believes that a promise was broken. Then if, due to pride, you want to throw out the window €55M, €58M, €60M, to me you're making a mistake. Because anyway #Koopmeiners can no longer be recovered."
- Cucchi: "It is not possible that a player presents 3 documents, 3 medical certificates due to stress. Those stressed are the ones that get up at 8 AM and go to work. Maybe they don't get another offer at €1000, anyway this is embarrassing."
-"Don't you give me the speech of workers that go to the factory, otherwise I have to mutiny for the next 35 minutes because you always hear that. Don't give me the speech of the worker that goes to the Perugina factory in Perugia, with all due respect to all types of jobs that are sacred, if they wake up at 6:15 AM and you compare them to football matters, I will mutiny."
