Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri admits he can be a "little s***". However, Nasri has stressed he is not about to change.
The 27-year-old, who notched a fine goal in Wednesday's 4-1 Barclays Premier League win at Stoke, was quoted by L'Equipe, saying: "From time to time (I can be) a little jerk.
"Sometimes it is better to shut up, but it's something I cannot do.
"I managed when I was younger and I would sometimes come home with a lump in my stomach. Next, you explode but not at the right person.
"So I prefer to say what I think - even not being loved, even sounding arrogant, even being a little s***. At least the people I love do not suffer."
