Former Super Eagles star Dimeji Lawal urges patience for striker Victor Boniface, who has yet to score for Nigeria. Despite his Bundesliga success with Bayer Leverkusen, Lawal believes Boniface needs time to adjust to international football and will soon prove his worth as a key asset for the national team.
Former Nigerian international Dimeji Lawal has voiced support for Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface, urging fans to remain patient despite the player’s ongoing goal drought for the national team.
Boniface, who has scored six goals this season in the Bundesliga for Bayer Leverkusen, is yet to find the back of the net in his appearances for Nigeria. Despite this, Lawal expressed confidence in the striker's abilities and potential contributions to the Super Eagles.
“Boniface is a brilliant player,” Lawal stated during an interview. “His commitment to both club and country is evident. It’s only a matter of time before Nigerians see him replicate his Bundesliga form for the national team.”
Lawal emphasized that the pressure of leading the team’s attack might be impacting Boniface’s performance but maintained that every player experiences challenging periods in their careers.
The former international urged supporters not to write off Boniface, stating, “He will soon prove himself to be a valuable asset for the Super Eagles. Like every great player, he just needs time to adjust.”
Boniface’s standout performances in the Bundesliga have kept him in the spotlight, and many believe that with proper support and patience, he will deliver for the national team.
As the Super Eagles prepare for future matches, expectations remain high for Boniface to break his goal drought and establish himself as a pivotal figure in Nigeria’s attacking lineup.
