boniface like Adriano šŸ˜³

Hmmmmm

Yessoo, Adriano had pace, skill and a powerful shot. He just couldnā€™t keep fit and his fatherā€™s passing mentally hurt him badly.

This is the same for many players. The NT shirt is very heavy. Only a few players do better for their country vs their club. Off top of my head, James Rodriguez is one of those players.

If he can stay fit and improve his finishing this season, heā€™ll get a big move in summer. Heā€™s like a more skillful Adriano.

I still think heā€™s best as a support striker than an out and out no 9.


Boniface is no where near andriano ā€¦he doesnā€™t even have d power shot Adriano is known for..I will liken boniface to ibrahimovic(play wise)

bros they are not similar in any way

Adriano was too complete. In his prime he was the closest thing to R9. Bobo was unplayable with shooting power that can be compared to that of few

No disrespect to Boniface but no try compare him to Adriano unless u no watch the Brazilian during his prime

Boniface with a brace. Another magical goal.

He cooked that defender

Cooked both defenders on his 2 goal. But if you look at those goals, he came from a wider position into the center.

Heā€™s not really a CF. Top player

I am not saying Boniface is of Adrianoā€™s level at his prime. No.

Iā€™m saying Boniface has many of the same characteristics of Adriano and if he, Boniface keeps developing, heā€™ll be similar to a prime Adriano.

!

Very correct. He has more tools in his game than our other strikers. Only thing is his fitness and finishing. He got 2 goals today off 7 shots but a more clinical striker probably has a hat-trick if not 4 goals with some of the chances he had

talk am reach next week I no gree

Boniface is more like a Zirkzee kinda player ie CFs that are skillful, can play any where upfront as well as drop deep to create opportunities for his team mates

He isnā€™t forceful and bullish like Adriano. Adriano was a menace to defenders during his prime

Also the Brazilian had more pace

Victor Boni-BRACE cooking defenders for fun in the Bundesliga.

A Striker that loves to bamboozle defences like Ronaldo De Lima and add flourish to his finish. A highly Technically gifted beast.

Adriano! one of footballs great what ifs. You're spot on when you say he was very similar to R9. Pity depression took its toll on a very promising career.

I think Boniface is too unique in his skill set to pigeonhole that he is a this or that. If Boni had Osimhen mad focus and ginger it would have been all over for the football world.

If you look at the work he put in getting those shots on target, then I would probably give him a pass. Those two goals he scored can only be scored by few strikers in today's football. The run, the cut, the shots! Wow! What a player!!

Truth is when Boniface settles into the GWG, he would absolutely lift even further the dynamics of our attack.

He just needs to add the ability to use his immense physicality when need be to really utterly dominate defences (like Osimhen does) and not depend on his highly technical side alone.

Have it on lock and we have the most unstoppable Striker on the planet. Even more than Haaland, I dare say but only IF...

Injury slowed the player down last season I hope he stays injury free this season. We missed him at Afcon. He showed some flashes of brilliance during the international break so not surprised with his performance currently

Boniface may be fancier when compared to the Brazilian but the Adriano na confirm one man squad

In his prime no defender fit stop him, then self when we had rugged CBs in serie A and European top leagues

Adriano no need near post ooo, once the ball set well for his favourite foot him don hammer and na straight inside post. Also him get strength and stamina die the reason I called him a tank in my previous posts

His shot power was so world renowned that even in video games, once you use Inter with Adriano, you are sure of a wonder goal. His shot power and accuracy was insane.

Leite Adriano was the ballon dor striker that never won a balloon dor and never got to fulfill all his potentials due to depression.

Depression na bastard.

that time na him and martins I Dey play upfront if I choose to play with Inter for PES

Martins na because of his pace and then ā€œAdioā€ as we do call him them for his shot power, stamina and pace


There is this goal he scored against Argentina in a Copa America finals. I think they won that match 3nil

The control and shot from outside 18 yard box was mind blowing

Mk I see if I go fit see am for YouTube
