Former Werder Bremen forwards, Claudio Pizarro and Martin Harnik, have expressed confidence that Super Eagles striker, Victor Boniface, will soon end his goalless streak at the club.
The Nigerian international joined the Greens on a season-long loan from Bayer Leverkusen during the summer but has yet to find the back of the net in nine appearances under coach Horst Steffen.
Harnik Backs Boniface
Harnik believes Boniface will quickly adapt and make an impact at Bremen.
“Of course, he’s a special guy,” the former Austrian international told DeichStube.
“He’s a character to me that you have to let do. Similar to Max Kruse, he needs as much freedom as possible.
“If you let him off the leash, I believe that he is a really creative player with a lot of joy to play and will also help the team.”
Pizarro Keeps Faith
Meanwhile, Pizarro urged the striker to remain patient and focused.
“He’s in a difficult phase at the moment, but he just has to keep working to show his quality again,” he said.
“Hopefully, he’ll start at Werder; that would be very important for both sides. When he scores, then hopefully a lot of goals will come.”
