Nasri says he has not been impressed by Chelsea this season and believes
that Manchester City are the better side.
Chelsea may be seven points clear at the top with 13 games remaining but
Nasri is convinced they could still be vulnerable.
The Frenchman said: "I'm a big fan of Mourinho, but I am not impressed with
his team, not at all. We have played them twice, one time with 10 men, and
we were better than them.
"Then we played them at the Bridge, we were better than them. When I have
seen some of their games, I don't think they are that fantastic - they are
just strong and have a good striker up front.
"For me they are not special at all, and I think they are going to make some
mistakes. We just have to perform, to win our games, and see what's going to
happen. This title will be like this until the end of the season. No-one
will win the league 10 games before the end of the season."
City famously overturned deficits to win both of their Premier League titles
and Nasri said: "We know that the two times we won the league, we were
behind at this time of the year.
"Two months ago we were eight points behind Chelsea and came back and went
level with them. Now we are seven points behind, but are not going to make
big talk about it. We will just try to get as many points as possible and
wait for the mistake.
"The season is still long, they have the Champions League and the final of
the Capital One Cup as well, so have a lot of games to play."
The Frenchman has been embroiled in controversy at various times during his
career, developing a reputation for making forthright comments, but he
insists he is not about to change.
He said: "Sometimes it is better to shut up, but it's something I cannot do.
I managed when I was younger and I would sometimes come home with a lump in
my stomach. Next, you explode but not at the right person.
"So I prefer to say what I think - even not being loved, even sounding
arrogant. At least the people I love do not suffer."
