In this friendly game against Rusia.. my eyes are firmly on Boniface. If he fails to prove himslef again then i stsrt a movement operation drop bonice #. I ve seen what Dessers is capable of . In my opinion SE handlers need to apologize for not playing Dessers in competitive games. I blieve strongly he will hv made a difference for us wen Oshimen was absence..He is that good.
