The euphoric Nerazzurri midfielder at the end of the race: “I am very happy”. Gasperini: “Ibrahim? Is thanks to Ranieri!”
The curiosity is that he plays more with Ghana than with Atalanta this season: 329’in in national against 169 ‘with the goddess. The double practically. Yet the goal that Ibrahim Sulemana scored last night applies in an immeasurable way. “I eat my hands because I had it in Cagliari and I have always told him to kick …”. Claudio Ranieri is sporty and Lord in commenting on the goal that cost him the defeat last night. “I am very happy, it was our goal and we achieved it -commented Sulemana -. Gasperini told me to make the attackers play and then we managed to score. We worked a lot, we only look at ourselves and we are very happy”.

On the other hand, in the middle of the field, in its position, there are two totems such as Marten De Roon and Ederson. Difficult to do without the Atalanta coach. And so Ibrahim spent the vintage to learn. On the other hand, his growth was very quick from 2021 onwards, or since he had signed the first Italian contract with Verona who had slipped him into the spring rose. The following season 16 appearances in A and the sale for 4 million to Cagliari. Another 21 appearances in the championship and here Atalanta buys it almost double in the summer of 2024. From zero to 8 million as an evaluation, in short, within 3 years. “Ibrahim deserves it – said De Roon -, in the last two months he has made enormous growth. It has often been one of the best in training. He had little space, his strength has been to never give up. We celebrated it in the locker room because it is not easy to have this extraordinary mentality when playing so little”.

In Cagliari he had scored some goals (2, editor’s note). It will also be to think about him for the next season, he was certainly closed by De Roon, Ederson, Pasalic, The goal is a great joy for him and it is for me too “.
