Bayer Leverkusen forward Victor Boniface is under fire following the emergence of a picture of him driving on a German highway using his phone. The 23-year-old’s actions have been termed reckless and irresponsible actions that have attracted criticism from fans and his club.
Manager Xabi Alonso minced no words, “It’s not allowed, and he knows it.” It goes without saying that Alonso will make sure that Boniface realizes what the outcome of this kind of behavior is.
While Boniface has been impressive on the pitch this season, incidents like this risk tarnishing his reputation. Footballers are role models, and actions like these send the wrong message. It’s time for Boniface to focus on responsibility both on and off the field.
