Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso addressed Victor Boniface's outburst toward teammate Emiliano Buendía following a 4-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. Despite Boniface's furious reaction during stoppage time, Alonso emphasized the minor nature of the incident, encouraging calmness. Both players, substitutes during the match, faced personal struggles, including Boniface's injuries and a failed transfer deal. Alonso's comments reflect a supportive team environment as they prepare for a challenging schedule, including a key match against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
I spoke with Boni. I don't have all the details, but Boni wanted to shoot, it can happen. We don't want to make something big out of something so small.
Boniface has 21 goals in 37 Bundesliga games since joining from Union Saint-Gilloise in 2023, but his impact this season has been limited because of injury.
