Former Manchester City star, Samir Nasri, has revealed the advice manager Pep Guardiola gave his players about sex.

Nasri said that Guardiola advised his players to have sex with their partners before midnight, insisting that it made them play better.

The Frenchman said this while opening up about his relationship with Guardiola during his time at Manchester City.

“On a day off, Guardiola told us that anyone who wanted to have a sexual relationship should do so before midnight because they need a good night’s sleep,” Nasri told Le Equipe.

“He says he did it with [Lionel] Messi, and since then, he has not had a muscle injury.

He added, “It is impossible to play good football if you don’t have sex with your partner. I would never forbid that. "If you’re doing it, you play better.”
