I do not regret choosing France over Algeria - Nasri

Former France international midfielder Samir Nasri says he does not regret snubbing Algeria for an international career with France.

The France-born 32-year-old was eligible to play for the current African champions due to his parents being of Algerian descent but opted to turn out for France with whom he made 41 appearances.

Nasri says the prospect of playing alongside big stars like Thierry Henry, David Trezeguet and Patrick Vieira lured him to commit his international future with Les Bleus.

“I don't regret things. I chose France. I had my first selection in 2007.
