S. Nasri: "Man City" footballers must earn huge salaries

"Manchester City" defender Samir Nasri urges his teammates to come together in the UEFA Champions League and justify their talent and huge salaries. The English champions are currently in last place in Group E after four rounds, trailing two points behind second-placed "Roma". Having played unsuccessfully against Munich's "Bayern" today, the Manchester team would exit the tournament after the group stage for the third time in the last four seasons. Nasri stated that the "Citizens", who need a victory, cannot have any excuses and must prove that they have learned from past mistakes. "We need to do something, or next year other players will play here," said the Frenchman. "Representing a big club works exactly like that. We must prove that we deserve to go further." "Considering the salary and capabilities of each footballer, 90 percent of our team is world-class. Not reaching the next stage would be a huge blow for both the club and ourselves." "In the Champions League, it's important not only to have talent and team spirit. Experience also plays a crucial role." "We need to prove that we are intelligent players and use the failures of last year to improve. We still have a chance and we need to grab it. Now is the time."
