Go and fight for your place… Don’t chicken out like most people are advicing you to….Klopp believes in merit and hardwork….if you can impress him then this might be your channel to stardom…. Awoniyi you are a worrior…. Nigerians are born fighters….we were born into struggling and make way for ourselves where there seems to be no way…. Nigerians don’t run away from challenge,we face it….If nobody gives us a chance, we create the chance by ourselves….Go Awoniyi the Nigerian spirit is with you.
Well said Akp, we Nigerians make a way where thier is no way. Let him used this opportunity to enter into the big boys club. See Saka at 19 years old making it into England national team and doing well go both club and country. So Awoniyi my brother you can even do more better because you have come a long way. No need going to India Serbia, Romania or kuwait all in the name of looking for easy path and collecting chop moni . Go thier and do what the Nigeria spirit is know of which is never give up of think lesss of your self after all 9ja no dey carry last. I wish you the best.
That he was selected amongst the 34 for pre season shows that there could be a change mind over his being in the club. What he needs to do is to fight for a place snd make the coach and the management of Liverpool to believe that he’s worth being in their team . I wish him the best
Prove me wrong. l will be your fan forever.
