Arsenal star Nasri slated by ex-France World Cup doctor

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 08/30/2010 - 04:02

Former France team doctor Jean-Pierre Paclet has slammed Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri as a disruptive influence inside the national team squad.

Paclet, in extracts from his book L'Implosion reproduced in the Sunday Times, pinpointed Arsenal midfielder Nasri as a key figure in the infighting in the France team in recent years.

Nasri was not included in the squad for the World Cup, but Paclet alleges that the 23-year-old was a source of a disquiet which dates back further than June after upsetting captain Patrice Evra and senior professionals Thierry Henry, William Gallas and former Marseille team-mate Franck Ribery.

"Here was a kid with a dozen caps looking down on players with a hundred. Scarcely believable," Paclet claimed. "His behaviour gets on the nerves of almost everybody and he has the gift of really annoying Henry, Gallas and Patrice Evra.

"Most of all, the relationship between Nasri and Ribery was very tense, from the time they were together at Marseille. They were more like kids in a playground rather than professionals on a pitch.

"Ribery would cause general laughter if, say, he put salt in my coffee. If he did it to Nasri, there would be no sense of humour from him."
