One of the best players in Europe has become unrecognizable » He apologizes with edited photos, but the coach “gave him a goal”

The former Bayer striker, who under Xabi Alonso was one of the key players in the Leverkusen champions, suffered a serious fall in a short time. An injury interrupted his activity, and the following season brought a total loss of rhythm.

The problems off the field did not go unnoticed, despite the fact that the footballer himself tried to dismantle the rumors about his physical appearance, publishing different photos and claiming that the claims about the extra pounds are exaggerated, and some photos were edited.

Victor Boniface struggles with the pounds and training in an attempt to get back on the field

Boniface is currently on loan at Werder but the results are not living up to expectations. He has made 11 appearances without scoring a goal, and further problems have been brought about by a knee injury and insufficient fitness, which is why he is currently out of the squad.

The coach of the team from Bremen openly commented on the situation of the player who underwent a visible transformation in a short time, including against the background of the appearance of extra pounds.

“It's obvious he's overweight. He knows it, and so do we. I wish he was in better shape. He has to prove if he wants to get into the team. It's incredible that he's the same player who broke the nets in Bayer Leverkusen's title-winning season with Xabi Alonso.

Since the injury suffered that season, he has not been the same player. Well, he was one step away from becoming an acquisition for a club like Milan. Of course we would like to have him in better physical condition. He also knows that he is not physically ready for more than a few minutes. No one can deny that he has a few extra pounds“said coach Danijel Tjun, quoted by sportal.blic.rs.
