“If you play in Marseille, you can play anywhere in Europe. I swear to you, if you are going to play in England, you bake your mustache ”launched the former attacking midfielder in his documentary “Samir Nasri: rebel” broadcast on Canal +.

Nasri's incredible anecdote on OM

Current leader of the club and great friend of Nasri, Medhi Benatia did not contradict him. “The atmosphere, the fervor, the little pressure you can have here if you miss … it has nothing to do with it. Neither in Munich nor in Turin, I have never seen that. »»

“In Arsenal or Manchester, if I go to the bakery to buy my bread, the guy he doesn't tell me about the match. He did not give a damn. Here in Marseille, when I played, if we had lost, the baker said to me “Why is it not a mark?” ». Eh go, sell me your bread ”replied Samir Nasri, with a smile. Words that will not leave lovers of OM insensitive.
