Nasri snaps back at ex-Arsenal pal Gallas: You're not Rambo, you're not Hulk, you're not Tyson!

Sevilla midfielder Samir Nasri has reopened his feud with former Arsenal teammate William Gallas.

Gallas took aim at the Manchester City-owned player last month when discussing a mysterious bust-up also involving family members.

Gallas claimed that the midfielder and some friends of his had threatened to taser him out of a Parisian hotel in spring 2009.

But Nasri responded to Onze Mundial: "The guy says his cousin is a policeman. So his cousin is a policeman, there are tasers, and he does not intervene, this policeman? He let people threaten you with tasers? It's 11 o'clock, you get out of the Costes, it's dark, you get to see in a bag, besides, there was no bag, a guy crouched with tasers in a bag, there's no taser either ...

"Stop taking us for mugs. If you mean things, okay, but say things as they happened, please.

"For the rest, what do you invent as history? You came to see me before the meal, you came to my room, you said to me: 'I apologize, I will not lack respect with what you do from now on'. I said, 'I do not want to say hello anymore, do not say hello, we do not love each other'.

"You never said to me, 'Come on, we'll explain ourselves outside'. Because if we would have explained ourselves outside, you're not Rambo, you're not Hulk, you're not Tyson, there's no problem!"
