Samir Nasri talks candidly about the hardship his family and him went through in a very interesting interview with the Daily Mail.
He talks about his Algerian parents who did everything for him while growing up in the streets of Marseille. He comes across as a genuine good guy and someone with a lot of integrity.
He talks honestly about the hard work he had to put in and realise that moving away from home was the best thing for his career. He says his idol was Maradonna and not Zidane, despite the inevitable comparisons with Zidane ( both with Algerian descent and born in Marseilles). Zidane is also one of his idols along with the Original Ronaldo.
He also talks about the callous and back-stabbing Gallas, who tried to make a mountain out of a molehill in the little seat incident on the French bus with Henry.
