Taiwo Awoniyi, a forward for Nottingham Forest and the Super Eagles, has explained why he doesn’t celebrate goals.
Because he knew they would materialize, he claimed he didn’t celebrate his accomplishments.
“To be honest, it’s not intentional. But I was having a conversation with a brother of mine and he actually made me understand why I don’t celebrate scoring goals.
“He is someone that really knows me; the secret part of me. I think the truth is, it’s just a script you know.
“Sometimes when you understand this is meant to happen, and it happens. It’s just more of a thing you’ve seen happening, so it’s just like what is supposed to be.
“Even when people don’t see it happening, you’ve already known. You’ve seen it ahead. So, when it happens, that calmness is just there,” he told Fans Tribe in an interview.
Awoniyi is currently with the Super Eagles in Uyo ahead of Nigeria’s last AFCON qualifier match against Sao Tome & Principe on Sunday.
