The French midfielder, who is thriving at a season-long loan in Seville, was deemed overweight by the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss.
Samir Nasri was on the French TV show L’Equipe du soir on Monday night and he revealed all about his relationship with Pep Guardiola.
Nasri claimed Pep Guardiola has told all his players, including Leo Messi, that they cannot have sex after midnight – even if they are free the next day.
“I’ll be honest, I fell in love with (Jorge) Sampaoli.” Nasri admitted. “He’s a mix between Bielsa and Guardiola, with whom I was with in preseason and he made me realise some things. Guardiola told me that I was a mess, he told me several times and even kicked me in the butt, literally.
“When I returned from holiday having had a year with injury problems and personal life problems, I was a little out of shape. Not as much as what was said but a few, four kilos overweight; For Guardiola, over 2.5 kilos and you do not you train with the group.”
“Guardiola told me with your qualities you should not be at Manchester City, you should be at Barcelona. We had some discussions, he wanted me to stay and play for him. I told him no, because he couldn’t assure me a first team place, I wanted to play. He told me he thought I was making a mistake, but I still have a 2 year contract.
“For him, his players sexual activity must take place before midnight in order to get a good night sleep – even if they are free tomorrow. He (Guardiola) said that he placed this rule on Messi and his muscles improved since.”
