Nigerian attacker Victor Boniface has revealed he once had an exchange with former Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan boss José Mourinho.
The conversation between the two professionals took place before AS Roma’s humiliating 6-1 defeat to Bodo/Glimt.
The Norwegian club handed Jose Mourinho and his AS Roma side a humiliating defeat in the UEFA Conference League group stage on October 21, 2021.
Boniface played for the Norwegian club before joining Bayer Leverkusen.
The Nigerian international noted that the 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 the 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.
