Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone says the Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman must do more than score goals. 

Lookman scored in Saturday’s 4–2 win over Espanyol, bringing his total to six goal contributions in a few matches. His strike matched Luis Suárez’s record for the best start to an Atlético career.

Simeone stressed that Lookman must improve in build-up play, defensive work, and positioning. The coach expects all players to combine attacking skill with discipline and effort without the ball.

Lookman’s pace and finishing have strengthened Atlético’s attack. Simeone says success requires hard work both on and off the ball, and if Lookman adapts, he could become a complete forward for the team.
