Victor Boniface’s stellar performances for Bayer Leverkusen have baffled Nigerian football fans, as the forward has yet to score in nine appearances for the Super Eagles since his debut in September 2023. Despite excelling in Leverkusen’s free-flowing system, where he thrives as a versatile, creative striker, Boniface struggles to adapt to Nigeria’s more rigid tactical setup, particularly when filling the role of a traditional target man. With five goal contributions in six league matches for his club, Boniface faces mounting pressure to translate his club form into international success, starting with the upcoming clash against Libya.
