Didier Deschamps’ decision not to include Samir Nasri in the French national team for the upcoming World Cup in Brazil has sparked controversy and garnered reactions from both Nasri and his club coach, Manuel Pellegrini.
Deschamps cited Nasri’s performances for the France team not matching those with Manchester City, as well as issues with his attitude when not starting, as reasons for his exclusion. Nasri, while respecting Deschamps’ decision, defended his behavior and reiterated his commitment to his club, Manchester City.
Pellegrini expressed surprise at Nasri’s omission, stating that Nasri deserves to play for the French team, but ultimately respected Deschamps’ decision as the technical director.
The situation highlights the complexities of team selection and the differing perspectives of coaches and players when it comes to international football.
