Granit Xhaka Backs Boniface to Shine for Nigeria Despite International
Bayer Leverkusen midfielder, Granit Xhaka has expressed his belief in the potential of his international teammate, Victor Boniface, to become an important player for Nigeria.
Despite Boniface’s struggles on the international stage, including a lack of goals in 11 appearances for the Super Eagles, Xhaka is confident that the 23-year-old forward has what it takes to succeed for his country.
Xhaka pointed out that it is often challenging for players to adapt quickly to international duties, given the limited time to work with the same coach and teammates. However, he emphasized that every player desires to represent their country and that Boniface’s commitment to the team is unquestionable.
While Boniface has faced criticism for his performances with Nigeria, Xhaka believes the forward will play a key role for the Super Eagles in the future. Xhaka praised Boniface not only for his footballing abilities but also for his character, describing him as a great guy and a talented player.
Boniface is currently recovering from an injury sustained during international duty last week, but Xhaka’s supportive comments reflect his faith in Boniface’s ability to bounce back and make a significant impact for both Leverkusen and Nigeria moving forward.
