Victor Boniface have faced criticism for his lack of goals with the Super Eagles, but the Striker is being unfairly treated says former player, Mobi Oparaku.
Boniface featured for just over an hour in the friendly game against Russia, but fired blank, further deepening the scrutiny of the forward’s focus and effort.
However, in defence of the 24 year-old, Oparaku called for understanding.
‘It has been a long season, most players are already mentally fatigued and just want to go on break,’ Oparaku told brila.net.
‘He is a good player who has simply struggled to find his best form with the Super Eagles, but Boniface is not a player that doesn’t show heart on the pitch.’
