Klopp was waiting to embrace the Bayern Munich handler, but he instead turned to his players for handshakes.

“When he came back I said I was waiting. But he apologized and I said no problem. It was a pure misunderstanding. I stood there like the ox in front of the mountain,'' Klopp explained according to UK Sun.

And Kovac admitted: “It’s common in England to shake hands after the final whistle. But first I am to my bench and not to him.

“He knows that differently from England. But it was not meant to be bad, I apologized after that.”

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki.

It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
