The former Flying Eagles star opened up on his struggles since making the switch during the winter transfer window, revealing that adapting to the pace and physical demands of French football has not been easy.
“France is much tougher,” Nnadi admitted.
According to the midfielder, the difference between the Belgian Jupiler Pro League and Ligue 1 became obvious almost immediately after his arrival.
“The intensity and speed are on another level,” he explained.
Nnadi also revealed that he would have preferred more game time following his transfer, especially after earning his Super Eagles debut before the Africa Cup of Nations.
“I would have loved to play more matches,” he said.
Despite the challenges, the Nigerian youngster insists he remains focused on improving and proving himself ahead of the new season.
“I’m working hard every day to get better,” he added.
The midfielder believes the difficult period will ultimately help him grow both mentally and technically as he continues his development in one of Europe’s most competitive leagues.
Nnadi remains one of Nigeria’s promising young talents and hopes to build on his Super Eagles breakthrough by establishing himself at club level.
For the midfielder, the message is clear.
The move has been difficult.
The learning curve has been steep.
But he remains determined to overcome the challenges and emerge stronger.
Because success at the highest level often requires adapting to tougher environments and embracing the struggle that comes with growth.
