Simeone demands Lookman add defensive work to Atletico's attack
Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone has demanded Ademola Lookman improve his defensive contributions despite his offensive impact. The Nigeria international has scored four goals and registered three assists in seven outings since joining from Atalanta. Simeone told reporters: 'We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability.' The demand comes despite Lookman's impressive output, with Simeone noting his defensive capabilities were previously shown with the Nigeria national team.
