Manchester City star Nasri tips Ghana's opponents Algeria for 2015 AFCON trophy
Former France international and Manchester City
attacking midfielder Samir Nasri has tipped
Algeria as favourites for the upcoming Africa Cup
of Nations in Equatorial Guinea.
Born in Marseille, France, the 27-year-old player
says he is an enthusiast of Algeria where his
parents hail from and watches the Fennec Foxes
regularly.

“I really appreciated Algeria’s outing at the
2014 World Cup in Brazil,” Nasri said on
Wednesday. “It was widely unexpected and many
people were stunned.

“They almost knocked out eventual winners
Germany. It was awesome and I was greatly
flattered,” he said.

The former Arsenal player sent encouragement
messages to the North African team during the
World Cup like his former teammate Franck Ribery,
who is married to an Algerian.

“I can confirm that Algeria have progressed
under new coach Christian Gourcuff. I have been
following the team and I can boldly tip them to
lift the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations trophy,” he
said.

Algeria will battle Senegal, Ghana and South
Africa in Group C to be based in Mongomo.
