On the ball [Nasri] is fantastic. He is one of those players who can give to the team some possession and play between the lines to help the attacking players to create chances.Nasri was banned from football after receiving an intravenous treatment at a Los Angeles clinic in breach of the World Anti-Doping Agencys rules.And Zabaleta admits his former City team-mate needs to improve his fitness after a long spell without competitive football. Samir needs a bit of time, the 33-year-old said. He has not been football training for more than a year but sometimes those players are technically very good so he probably needs to focus more on his fitness levels than his passing and all this.We know Samir and his quality. When he is fit he is on a different level. He is a fantastic player.Hopefully he can reach his best fitness level. He has to feel physically good because we know that the Premier League is so demanding physically.
