Having previously announced a ban for his footballers from having sex with Russian women at the ongoing FIFA World Cup, Nigerian coach Gernot Rorh rushed to clarify his statement. Among Nigerian footballers, only the team's lead player John Obi Mikel is allowed to date Russian women, according to Rorh, the Nigerian team's coach. Mikel had earlier made public his relationship with a girl from Russia, reports Sputnik news agency.
"We are partaking in a major tournament, so discipline is our team's top priority. Only the lead player can date a Russian girl, since he has been living with his Russian better half [wife Olga Diyachenko]. Only after matches do we allow our players to meet with their families," Rorh told journalists. Rorh said that there would be no discriminatory attitude towards the Nigerian team.
