Akinfenwa “would snooze” Diego Costa

AFC Wimbledon striker, Adebayo Akinfenwa has claimed that he would “snooze” Diego Costa if the two were to ever square off on the pitch, according to the Daily Express.

This, of course, in the wake of Costa’s recent clash with Gabriel over the weekend which resulted in the striker being charged with violent conduct.

The AFC Wimbledon striker retained his status as the strongest player in the EA Sports football franchise in its latest iteration, FIFA 16.

Speaking at a FIFA 16 launch event, the Englishman, who is listed at 1.80 m and 101 kg, said:

I’m gonna have to keep it real. If it came down to it, I’d have to snooze Diego Costa. I like him as a player, but there’s only one winner if he comes up against me.

The striker is predominately known for his strength and Akinfenwa isn’t ready to give up his title as FIFA’s strongest man anytime soon, adding:

One day it’ll happen, when I retire. Whoever beats me I’ll definitely be calling them out to go toe-to-toe.

matchday.
