Werder Bremen sporting director ,Clemens Fritz has said that the club were doing everything possible to get the best out of Victor Boniface.
He said this in response to the player’s recent performances and off-field behaviour.
Bremen defeated St. Pauli 1-0 at home in the Bundesliga at the weekend and Boniface was introduced in 80th-minute of the game.
He missed a clear opportunity to make it 2-0 for Bremen at stoppage time and this has drawn widespread discussion.
Fritz said the focus should not be on the missed opportunity but more importantly on how the player approaches his opportunity.
“He has to be aware that Werder is an opportunity for him – because there will also be a time after Bremen and Leverkusen,” Fritz said, as quoted by Deichstube.
He said that the Nigeria International would get all the support he needs at the club aims to reach his best form.
“It is our goal to get him into the best possible shape – because then he will be incredibly valuable to us,” Fritz added.
Speaking on the striker’s social media activities, Fritz added, “I’d say we’ve all stood in front of abstract art in a gallery and wondered what the artist was trying to tell us.
“We at Werder ask ourselves the same thing about him,” Fritz said with a grin.
He said that there was nothing wrong with Boniface’s posts on social media in as much as they align with Werder Bremen’s values.
On Boniface’s Behaviour within the team, he said “When you see him in the locker room, he always has a smile on his face.”
Boniface joined Bremen on the last day of the 2025 summer transfer window after his move to AC Milan failed through.
