Super Eagles forward Boniface was demoted following the Liverpool catastrophe in Bochum vs. Leverkusen.
With Nathan Tella and Victor Boniface of the Super Eagles sitting on the bench, German champions Leverkusen lost again.
Nigerian attackers Nathan Tella and Victor Boniface were sidelined in yet another dismal performance for Bayer Leverkusen, which resulted in the team losing important Bundesliga points.
The two made few appearances following a difficult Champions League match against Liverpool, in which Leverkusen lost badly, 4-0.
In their latest Bundesliga fixture against Bochum, Leverkusen managed only a 1-1 draw, further complicating their title aspirations.Boniface, who had been a standout performer earlier in the season, was demoted to the bench following his lacklustre performance at Anfield.
Tella only played 13 minutes in Bochum, but he played 26 minutes off the bench.
Boniface, who had nine goals this season before the Liverpool encounter, came under fire for wasting important opportunities.
His particularly poor performance at Anfield sparked rumors regarding his fitness and form right now.
In an attempt to help Leverkusen overcome their European problems, coach Xabi Alonso decided to start him out of the lineup against Bochum.
Boniface only made a fleeting debut against Bochum, but he was unable to have a big influence, and Leverkusen’s problems persisted as they were unable to win.
They are now behind their competitors in the Bundesliga title race as a result of the draw.
Despite facing difficulties during the game, Nathan Tella was able to contribute more minutes than Boniface.
Even if he was unable to alter the result of the match against Bochum, his position on the right flank has been crucial for Leverkusen this season.
If Boniface and Tella want to assist their side in regaining its winning form, they will both need to get back into their groove.
Fans will be attentively observing how these Super Eagles forwards react in future games as the Bundesliga puts more pressure on them.
