I’ve let down the kids, says remorseful Samir Nasri Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri says he has let down ‘the kids’ with his behaviour and admits he had the worst season of his career last term. The 26-year-old France international was handed a three-match ban for a foul-mouthed rant at journalists following Les Bleus’ dismal showing at Euro 2012. New France boss Didier Deschamps then froze Nasri out out of his squad, coinciding with a significant dip in club form for the former Arsenal star that drew public criticism from then City boss Roberto Mancini. But Nasri has been recalled by Deschamps, and speaking ahead of his country’s World Cup qualifier away to Georgia on Friday, he said: ‘For a year I lived in uncertainty but, more importantly, I did not deserve to be recalled. BLOG: Manuel Pellegrini could regret Gareth Barry exit ‘I had my worst season since turning professional. I was proud but inside I was hurting. I’ve suffered and will never do it again. ‘I particularly regret tarnishing my image with the kids, who looked on me as a superhero. I don’t want them to do what I did. I crossed the line. ‘However, I can promise Deschamps that during our time working together he will have no problem with me.’
