Former Arsenal playmaker, Samir Nasri believed that he wouldn't be first choice under Guardiola this term, and decided to go on loan to Seville, where he has starred for Jorge Sampaoli's side.
Speaking on French TV show L'Equipe du soir on Monday evening, the Frenchman - who says he will never return to the France squad - opened up on Guardiola, how he forced him to make a few changes in pre-season and told him that with his talent, he should be playing for Barcelona and not Man City.
''When I returned from holiday having had a year out with injury problems and personal life problems, I was a little out of shape. Not as much as what was said but a few, maybe, four kilos overweight. For Guardiola, over 2.5 kilos and you do not train with the group.”
“Guardiola told me with your qualities you should not be at Manchester City, you should be at Barcelona.
"We had some discussions, he wanted me to stay and play for him. I told him NO, because he couldn’t assure me a first team place. I wanted to play.
"He told me he thought I was making a mistake."
Nasri said of Guardiola; “For him, his players sexual activity must take place before midnight in order to get a good night sleep – even if they are free tomorrow.
"He [Guardiola] said that he placed this rule on Messi and his muscles improved since.”
