In an interview, former OM player Samir Nasri explained in particular that he did not want to be a commentator so as not to have to experience PSG goals live…
This Saturday, L'Equipe unveils an interview with Samir Nasri, who talks about his new life as a consultant. The former OM, Arsenal and Manchester City player, among others, is questioned about his time on the other side of television, he who had not been kind to journalists during his playing career . He explains that he really enjoys this job and that he doesn't mind criticizing friends, for example Medhi Benatia, now sporting director of OM.
“Criticizing friends like Medhi Benatia? First, I would start by talking to him in private. Between friends, we say things to each other. If a criticism has to be made on the air, that's the game. But as I don't intervene too much in Ligue 1 this season, I have no reason to get angry with my friend (laughs). I watch all the OM matches! And anyway, since I was 6, whenever there's a football match on TV, I'm in front. Every weekend, I watch between ten and twelve, focusing on the teams playing in the Champions League. Above all, I like to debate it. In private or on TV. »
-“It wouldn’t be easy to shout at a PSG goal…”
Another interesting secret is the reason why he never wanted to be a commentator. It is made up of three letters, those of PSG. Samir Nasri, a big supporter of OM who does not, in fact, appreciate the capital club at all, would have been hard pressed to believe that he was happy that the Parisians had scored a goal: “I like having the perspective necessary to talk about tactics, benefit from more viewing angles, etc. Live commentary is another job. You have to know how to share emotions, not have a monotonous tone… And if I had to comment on PSG, it wouldn't be easy to shout about a goal, to bring the thing to life…”
