Coach Augustine Eguavoen don explain why Victor Boniface, the young striker wey dey play for Nigeria, no dey score plenty goals for the Super Eagles. According to Eguavoen, one of the main reasons be say Boniface style of play no dey favor him to score many goals.
Eguavoen talk say Boniface play style resemble that of Brazilian legend Romario, who love to create chances for others rather than score himself. He say, “Boniface plays like Romario that loves to create chances for others”.
Another reason wey Eguavoen mention be decision-making in key moments. He say, “I remember in Rwanda, today also, when you get half a chance, likes of Boniface no dey take am well”.
Though Boniface dey in stellar form for his club, Bayer Leverkusen, where he score five goals in his last six matches, this form no dey translate to his performances with the Super Eagles. He still no score in any of his eight matches for Nigeria.
Eguavoen and his coaching staff need to develop a strategy that will create scoring opportunities for Boniface, especially now that Victor Osimhen dey sidelined due to fitness issues.
