BEVERLY HILLS, July 14, (THEWILL) – Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, has congratulated Anglo-Nigerian striker, Adebayo Akinfenwa, after Wycombe Wanderers won a match to secure their promotion to the English Championship.
THEWIl recalls that Wycombe Wanderers defeated Oxford United 2-1 to secure a place in the English second tier for the first time in their 133-year history.
An elated Akinfenwa, who played for 30 minutes, in his post-match interview with Sky Sports had jokingly stated that he will be happy if the German coach would contact him and celebrate with him.
“Look, look, let me calm down. First and foremost, I want to thank God, because today he made the impossible possible.
“Four years ago I stood in front of you and I was technically unemployed.
“Let me tell you something, the only person that can hit me up on WhatsApp this time is Klopp, so we can celebrate together. You get me? Oi!”
The Liverpool boss, Klopp, has since heeded to the call and has contacted the Nigerian striker.
“Hello big man, congratulations!” said Klopp.
“Watched the game, well I didn’t see the post-match interviews but Hendo [Jordan Henderson] or one of my players told me that you want to get, what did you think to say? If you could get in contact with me on WhatsApp, here we go!
“Congratulations. I’m pretty sure your whole life at least a Championship player and now finally, you are there. Well done.
“Great, great victory. Even in strange times, I hope you celebrate appropriately.”
THEWILL reports that Akinfenwa made a video celebrating Liverpool after they won the Premier League, stressing that he is a fan of the Klopps.
