Gent star, Jordan Torunarigha has admitted that there are stricter rules while playing for Germany than Nigeria.
Torunarigha opted to play for the European country in his youth.
Although he featured for all the German teams up to U-21 level, he failed to make it into the senior team.
Torunarigha has now decided to switch allegiance and play for the Super Eagles.
Coach Jose Peseiro handed the 26-year-old centre-back his first senior team call-up ahead of Nigeria’s finals fixture of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations against Sao Tome and Principe.
The Chemnitz-born defender seems to have settled in nicely, and he has revealed some of the differences he has noticed between playing Germany and his short time with the Super Eagles.
“Playing for both countries is really different because Germany is really strict,” Torunarigha told NFF TV.
“In Germany, you can’t go into meetings with flip-flops, you have to wear normal shoes. But here, you can go with flip flops, and everyone is looking fun. In Germany everyone is organized and strict. But here, it’s a little easier.
