Xabi Alonso backs Victor Boniface to regain top form
Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has reaffirmed his trust in Victor Boniface, expressing confidence that the Super Eagles striker will rediscover his best form despite recent transfer speculation linking him to Al Nassr, reports Nigeriasoccernet.com.
Boniface, who recently returned from injury, marked his first start with a goal in Leverkusen’s 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim in Sunday’s Bundesliga clash.
Alonso on Boniface’s Importance
Speaking after the match, Alonso highlighted the significance of Boniface’s return and the support he received from fans.
"I always have trust. It was an important moment for him after his injury. The situation last week was a bit strange, unpleasant," Alonso said.
"It was important that he felt important again, felt the love of the fans. That’s important for the mind."
Boniface’s return to Leverkusen’s starting XI adds further firepower to Alonso’s high-flying side, who are firmly in the hunt for the Bundesliga title this season.
