Victor Boniface Says Some Super Eagles Players Don’t Take Match Seriously
Germany-based Nigerian forward, Victor Boniface, has called out a lack of passion among some Super Eagles players, saying a few of them don’t seem to care whether the team wins or loses.
Speaking on The Culture League podcast, the Bayer Leverkusen striker stressed that wearing the national jersey should be treated as an honour, not just another routine game.
Boniface pointed out that millions of Nigerians dream of playing for the Super Eagles, and those lucky enough to be selected should take it seriously.
“There are players who go for national duty and act like it doesn’t matter if we win or lose,” he said. “I always remind them that in a country like Nigeria with such a huge population, it’s a big deal to get that chance.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
