The reason why Victor Boniface was nowhere to be found this season is because Bayer Leverkusen didn't perform well this season, and Victor Boniface didn't score so many goals the way he scored for Bayer Leverkusen last season, so that prevented Victor Boniface from being noticed this season. If Victor Boniface can be consistent next season and score so many goals for Bayer Leverkusen, he will regain his relevance in the world of football.
I saw that, but don't you think even though Bayern Leverkusen was like that he could have also created his own name as he normally do?, when Victor Boniface was very relevant Bayern Leverkusen wasn't far from how they are now but it didn't affect Victor Boniface, so why this time?. So actually we should accept the fact that even if Bayern Leverkusen had a stunt growth they did not cause everything for Victor Boniface, alot of Nigerians are already becoming disappointed because we have lost a quality, however if they still conclude is the fault of Bayern Leverkusen the truth will be cleared when super eagles will resume.
According to Fiatless, Victor Boniface suffered from some injuries this season, which I think was also a reason why Victor Boniface failed to score so many goals this season, as he scored for Bayer Leverkusen last season. If you are expecting Victor Boniface to perform better when he plays for the Super Eagles, just remove that thought from your mind because a lot of Nigerian players who used to play well in their respective clubs always fail to replicate the same performance when they play for the Super Eagles.
Even when victor Boniface was at his best at Bayern Leverkusen, when he comes to play for the national team, he suddenly becomes a big flop producing little to no result as a top striker that he's supposed to be. Being on injury is just an excuse to tell his real personality because from the look of things, he's nothing close to the standards of the likes of victor osimehn that will single handedly carry both Thier country and club regardless of the state they find the team in.
When osimehn gets injured and Boniface has to stand in the gap, the vacuum is usually broad and you could easily tell that something is missing in the team, if Boniface gets injured and osimehn is available, it's rare to even know that a striker of his calibar is missing in the team. What does that then tell of him? It simply shows that he's not yet at that level and still have a lot of work to be done. We can even assume that the reason why he's doing well sometimes at Bayern Leverkusen is because the clubs playing pattern suits his. What happens when he leaves the club to another club and underperforms? But that have a negative tail on his career.
