Jose Peseiro says Victor Boniface would have made big difference for Super Eagles at AFCON 2023
Former Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro, has opined that Victor Boniface’s absence made the team play limited football at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Bayer Leverkusen star, who was expected to lead the Super Eagles attack alongside Victor Osimhen, got an injury a few days before the commencement of the tournament in the team’s training camp in Abu Dhabi and was withdrawn from the competition.
The Portuguese tactician whose contract with the Super Eagles ended last month, says Boniface would have made a big difference if he was available for the tournament.
“I will say that Boniface would have made the difference without injury,” he said in an interview in Portugal, according to AfricafootUnited.
“He was very confident and can play comfortably in our two-man attacking style. He can also play on both sides of the strikers and that would have made him our invisible arc in the tournament.
“Our options to refine our style were limited in his absence.”
The Super Eagles narrowly lost the final to host Ivory Coast 2-1.
