Samir Nasri

“Remember that before joining Arsenal, I was at Marseille where it was easy for me because I was with my family; I was born there and had played for them since I was nine. I came here on my own, and you grow up more quickly that way. It made a difference, because now I have become a man.”

“I'm never happy with my performances. I always want more and better for myself.”

“I can play in the centre or on the wing, behind one or two strikers, on the left or the right.”

“You don't want to stay on the bench. You want to play every game.”

“I'm used to playing in the Premier League now. I'm confident, and all my team-mates are confident with me.”

“Wenger is the best coach I've worked with.”

“I don't know of one player who is happy on the bench, especially when you don't understand the reason.”

“I do not have regrets, I do not regret joining Manchester City.”

“If you want to be a big player and play for a big club, you have to deal with the pressure.”

“I will not play for Tottenham.”

“I try to be precise with my passes but take some risks as well.”

“Defeat is forbidden.”

“Wenger is an immense manager and a great man. He takes care of his players, maybe too much. He's not a man of conflict.”

“I needed a familiar club that would give me affection, and Sevilla can do that.”

“I made mistakes, I know, but I'm not the ugly duckling that some people seem to think.”

“I see myself going to play in the MLS, to discover something other than France.”

“You can ask any player: I never had any problem with any French team-mate.”

“A man is not scared of playing, of having any contact, and you won't shut him down if you kick him - he will just ask for the ball all the time.”

“Tactically, Italians are very strong. They are a lot into tactics: how to defend, when you lose the ball, where will you be?”

“Cristiano Ronaldo is more of a professional, hard-working guy. Ronaldo is the example you follow.”
