Boniface: I give my 100% to Leverkusen

Boniface’s 5th highest earner at Leverkusen

Super Eagles ace, Victor Boniface has addressed his reduced playing time compared to last season’s with Bayer Leverkusen.

The Nigerian told Bayer04Xtra, “I don’t really think about those things. There’s a lot of media talk about me—’Boni this, Boni that’—without people truly knowing who I am. But, as I said, I don’t really care.

“I’m just trying to help the team. It doesn’t really matter how much I’m playing; when I’m on the pitch, I try to contribute just like the other players. We’re all giving 100% for the fans because they deserve it.”

At the weekend, in their first match after the international break, Bayer 04 Leverkusen secured a home victory against VfL Bochum. The visitors fought selflessly but were unable to contain the Werkself attack led by Boniface.

Although Boniface wasn’t playing in a double-striker role with Schick, but rather as a hanging striker in the half-space.
