The Nigerian international noted that cold in Bodo/Glimt, a small city in Norway was challenging for professionals.
Boniface told The CultureLeaguePodcast, “I played in Norway, one of the coldest countries in the world. I played for Bodø/Glimt, the city is too small… it’s surrounded by sea. It is freezing.
“Mourinho came to the pitch, walked inside, took his phone, recorded everything and posted: ‘This is the situation, we’re about to play, very cold.’
“He posted it. I commented on that same post because I didn’t know I’d be at this level today. I said to him, ‘You never see anything.”
Meanwhile, the Super Eagles star did not participate in that game as he was recovering from a cruciate ligament injury.
