Victor Boniface responded to concerns about his fitness during his unveiling at Werder Bremen with confidence and humor. When asked about his physical condition, he said, “Whatever you want to believe in the media, you can believe them, that’s not on me… I don’t care. If my body is not 100%, I will be in the hospital. I will not be here talking to you.” This blunt response reflects his confidence in his fitness despite previous concerns, particularly after his failed move to AC Milan due to medical issues.
The 24-year-old Super Eagles forward joined Werder Bremen on a season-long loan from Bayer Leverkusen, and his new club’s head coach, Horst Steffen, expressed faith in Boniface, praising his strength, finishing ability, and pace. Boniface will wear the number 44 jersey, having chosen it because his preferred number 22 holds sentimental value – it’s a doubled version of the day he lost his mother.
