Borja Iglesias (Santiago de Compostela, 1993) signed for Bayer Leverkusen at the end of January with the aim of helping to replace Boniface, who was seriously injured at the beginning of the year. However, Xabi Alonso is still waiting for the striker he thought would sign on loan. The Galician striker’s record is 0 goals and 0 assists in the four games he has participated in. A disappointment.
So far, Borja Iglesias has been available for Xabi in six games. In the first of them, at Darmstadt’s home, he played the entire game. Without a doubt, his best game. In fact, the only one in which he managed to shoot on goal (twice). Since then, 26, 0, 16, 0 and 25 minutes in which he has not managed to contribute anything numerically to the team. Just 10 touches in the rival area and 4 aerial duels won in these 157 minutes.
The idea that the BayArena fans had was that the Spaniard could alleviate the loss of Boniface, their star forward, who is not expected until this next national team break at the end of the month. They did not trust either Schick or Hzloek, the Nigerian’s two substitute forwards. Normal, because they have not managed to score a single goal in these two months without Boniface. And now they are also starting to not trust Borja Iglesias. The Spaniard will have another four games until the return of the starting number 9 to convince the new fans of him and the club, who has a purchase option on him for 8 million euros. The figure of the center forward is the only one capable of squeaking in the match-winning machine that Xabi Alonso has built at Bayer Leverkusen.
