Tough game today for Boniface,I felt that he did well,but he lacked composure when it really mattered. The positives are more than the negatives, and I believe that of it wasn’t Munich,then Boniface may be scoring at least 2 goals today minimum. Lessons learned, let’s go our Starboy.
Lack composure how? Bcos he’s Nigerian he should score in every match. Someone that’s not composed will not think of attempting that long range shot.
He was present in the match, constantly looking for space to operate more physically and psychological present more than Harry Kane.It will look difficult bcos Bayerb marked deep in the difference.
Boniface will go places in Germany and I see him dominating the bundesliga this season……See how he dominated and imposed himself on Apumecano and Kim as if he has been playing at this level for years……Very physical and technical for a man of his size……He also has a bullet of a shot in both legs……Super Eagles and Leverkusen are lucky to have him.
Thumbs up brotherman AK47. You nailed it. Boniface is the best, forget the rest.
Boni did everything right, except put the ball in the net.
He was a thorn in the flesh of the Bayern defense. Upamecano in particular will need an ice bath, after the rigors Boni put him through.
Just needs to be more composed when shooting at goal, and he will become one heck of a striker.
