Bundesliga: "Everyone At Mainz 05 Was Happy When I Scored My First Goal" - Awoniyi

Nigeria's international striker Taiwo Awoniyi has stated that the management, players and staff of Mainz 05 were extremely happy for him after he netted his first goal for the club.

The former Nigeria junior international found it hard to adapt in his early stage with the German side having joined the club late and missed the preseason, BSN Reports.

Awoniyi opened his scoring for the club against FC Koln after the league resumed after covid 19 suspension.

While speaking to Eagles Tracker, Awoniyi added that Liverpool medics were in contact with him all through.

" For me I think everyone in Mainz was so happy for me, I see my teammates telling me, yes I scored, but I’m happier for you scoring, and texting me how glad they are for me after those months.

"The entire staff was also glad for me. From Liverpool, the loan director was always in contact during the season and there was a time when the only league on was the Bundesliga.

"Most of the team physios looking after my previous injury sent me texts, and one of the fitness coaches as well," he told Eagles Trackers.

Awoniyi is expected to return to his parent club Liverpool as the season ends.
