Dhe promotion to the Football League Championship triggered an emotional outbreak at Adebayo Akinfenwa. The muscle-bound third-division footballer from England looked for the right words in the TV interview after the rise of his club Wycombe Wanderers.
After asking the reporter several times to announce Wycombe’s rise, the 38-year-old attacker shared a wish with the TV viewers. He would like to celebrate with his idol Jürgen Klopp.
“The only person who can reach me on WhatsApp tonight is Klopp, so that we can celebrate together”, trumpeted Akinfenwa beaming happily into the camera. The German coach of Liverpool FC, who recently managed a celebration marathon himself, was not asked twice.
“Are you crazy? The man, the myth, the legend sent me a WhatsApp message. The day can’t get any better. Thank you, Klopp! ”Wrote the overjoyed Liverpool fan Akinfenwa a few hours after the 2-1 win in the playoff against Oxford United and the first promotion to the second division in club history.
The strongest footballer in the world
The beefy attacker shared a video that shows him watching a video message. To see: a grinning knock: “Hello, big man. Congratulations! ”One of his players told him that Akinfenwa wanted to celebrate with him.
Akinfenwa has played in England’s third or fourth league most of his career. Due to his stature, the striker with Nigerian roots is known far beyond the country’s borders. Because Akinfenwa is a hobby bodybuilder and with a height of 1.80 meters, according to official information, weighs 102 kg. He is therefore considered the strongest footballer in the world.
He even had to pay a fine for his love for Liverpool FC. After the Klopp-Elf title won in the English Premier League in June, Akinfenwa came to training in the Reds jersey and was punished by the club for it. “The only time I enjoyed paying a fine,” he then tweeted proudly.
