Boniface Defends Cryptic Social Posts as Goal Drought Persists on Werder Loan

He says identical captions drew no notice when he was scoring at Leverkusen, arguing the scrutiny stems from his dip in form.

Overview

  • Three months after joining Werder Bremen on loan from Bayer Leverkusen, the 24-year-old has nine Bundesliga appearances without a goal and has not secured a regular starting place.
  • In an interview with Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, Boniface described his posts as harmless distractions and stressed that he does not insult anyone.
  • He pointed to an injury-disrupted second season and a collapsed summer move to AC Milan as factors shaping his current situation.
  • In Saturday’s 1-1 draw with 1. FC Köln, he entered in the 70th minute, helped launch a late attack, and Bremen later conceded through a stoppage-time own goal.
  • Werder coach Horst Steffen said his strikers are working hard and backed them to find their goals soon.
