will be relying on in-form forward, Ademola Lookman, to continue his impressive run of form when La Dea face Inter Milan at the San Siro for a place in the Coppa Italia semi-finals on Tuesday ,Lookman has scored seven goals in his last four matches in all competitions for Atalanta, who are unbeaten in six competitive games and he will be aiming to grab his second goal against the Nerrazurri who have only suffered one defeat in their last nine matches in all competitions.
Inter have already beaten Atalanta in the current campaign, recording a 3-2 league away league victory when the two sides met in November, and after progressing to the last four of the Coppa Italia in each of the last three seasons, they will be confident of securing their place in the semi-finals. Speaking ahead of the tie and Lookman’s performance, Atalanta coach, Gian Piero Gasperini said, “Lookman had an extraordinary performance for Atalanta this season and we hope he continues tomorrow against Inter.“He immediately showed that he has the experience, and he had significant growth in clubs where they know football.
“He was at Leipzig, then he played in England. There he was employed a bit distant from the goal, but I immediately realized that he had the right characteristics for what we’d been looking for for some time.”
