Former Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro has revealed that Victor Boniface would have made a big difference at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Recall that the Bayer Leverkusen star ended his appearance at the cup of nations due to injury.
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.
