Xabi Alonso, the manager of Bayer Leverkusen, mentioned that he is open to the idea of frequently pairing Victor Boniface and Patrick Schick in the attacking lineup. The two forwards played together for the first time this season during Die Werkself’s 3-2 victory over FC Cologne in the DFB Pokal on Wednesday night, with Schick netting Leverkusen’s second goal in the dying moments of the match. Boniface replaced Exequiel Alejandro Palacios in the 76th minute and then scored the decisive goal during extra time. When questioned after the match about the possibility of the two strikers playing together more frequently, Alonso replied: “Yes, that’s a possibility.” We determine our requirements for each game, and if we believe that they can connect and grasp the team’s needs, it becomes a possibility. Bayer Leverkusen is set to travel to Wolfsburg for a league match on Sunday. Reported by Adeboye Amosu.
