Werder Bremen forward Marco Grüll has underlined the impact of Nigerian striker Victor Boniface, stressing the value of competition within the squad as they prepare for Saturday’s Bundesliga encounter with SC Freiburg.
Speaking ahead of the match, Grüll praised Boniface for lifting the standard of Bremen’s frontline. “Victor Boniface makes the team better. You can see how he uses his body and the qualities he brings to training,” Grüll said, highlighting the 24-year-old’s influence since joining Horst Steffen’s squad in the summer.
Boniface, who arrived as part of Bremen’s reinforcements for the season, has quickly earned recognition for his combination of strength and technical ability. His presence, according to Grüll, has sharpened the competition among attackers. “It’s important for us to have this competition, and that’s why we need someone like him here,” he explained.
The Austrian forward added that internal battles for starting spots extend beyond the attack, but Boniface’s arrival has brought an added intensity. “We have this competition in other positions as well, and that’s important. I’m a hard worker, and that’s how I want to use my qualities,” Grüll stated, signalling his readiness to embrace the challenge.
Boniface is widely regarded as a key signing capable of bolstering Bremen’s offensive strength in both Bundesliga and European fixtures.
