The Nigerian football team coach laid down some strict rules for when his side goes to Russia to take part in the World Cup. Gernot Rohr says he won’t allow them to have local girls over – but wives and family members can come.
“Yes, the players can have their wives and family come to visit them at the World Cup. Each player will have a room to himself so the family can come on days when we are not preparing for games or on matchdays,“ Rohr told a news briefing in the town of Uyo, as cited by the Nigerian sports daily Complete Sports. “However, I won’t allow them to have Russian girls, no, no, no. Only captain Mikel who has a Russian partner can come with her.”
