Soon Olympiakos were struggling to hold onto their young star especially after his world cup performance. It was not until new manager Laurent Banide came in that the fans got to see the best of Yaya Toure. He can do just about anything. Once again he only stayed for a season and moved onto bigger things in Spain. He first played in the defensive midfield role for Barca.
At some point, his attacking runs became limited and after being forced out of the team by Sergio Busquets. This led him to start playing as a centre back role as observed in the Champions League final. He went to England after being tired of playing central back position.
Thou he lasted for three seasons at FC Barcelona. In his first season, he had the best performances for the FA Cup. Yaya ran the midfield and scored the only goal of the game in the semi-final against Manchester United and then repeating it in the final against Stoke City.
Without a doubt, both parties share huge physical similarities. First, their midfield marshalling prowess comes from their massive upper body frame. They love to make tireless runs and can cover every blade of grass in the field. Finally, reports indicates that these big men have both had troubles in finding the right sized pair of shorts for their long lower limbs.
Separated by a generation, Patrick Vieira and Yaya Toure are two ideal examples of the modern-day midfielder. Pace, power, bundles of creativity and an unrelenting eye for goal. Both are seen as the most complete midfielders to ever play in the EPL. Many years ago, it was virtually impossible to imagine that a player could reach the same heights as Vieira, but then every once in a while comes along an extraordinary player who makes you stand up and take notice.
Yaya Toure is that player. He swapped the numbers round when he joined Man City because Vieira already had the number 24 shirt himself!
Toure is a married man and is currently married to her. They have two children at the time of writing. Yaya Toure has once been stitched up by the Sun Newspaper, as the tabloid claims that married Ivory Coast midfielder has been cheating on his wife, Gineba Toure. The above Sandra Ntonya, is a Malawian prostitute who had claimed in that she had series of affair with Yaya Toure.
Later Yaya refuted the claim that his wife Gineba Toure is all he has and needs. Evidence of his true Islamic faith has been observed. For instance, Yaya turns down the English tradition of champagne after league games in accordance with his religious beliefs. As a football lover, he once invited Yaya to ride with him in his motorcade during their first African Nations Cup victory celebration.
This over-excitement made President Alassane Ouattara to declare that faithful Monday as a national holiday. He also announced a fat holiday pay to workers on public radio and television stations.
Public celebrations was later followed by an in-house party with the President. It is pertinent to note that Kolo once took care of his entire family when they were both very young and poor. Right from the onset, Yaya Toure has dreamt of playing along side with his beloved elder brother.
Thou his dream to join Kolo at Arsenal ended in disappointment as revealed recently. Thou, Yaya still got another opportunity with Manchester City. This came to pass after he turned down Manchester United and waited for the siren signal from Manchester City where his elder brother once played before joining Liverpool.
Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has been appointed a goodwill ambassador as he joins a UN campaign against poaching. The Ivory Coast international has joined the United Nations Environment Programme UNEP campaign as he looks to stop the slaughter of elephants, saying that only remain in his country.
This is what happened. Yaya Toure has revealed he is happy that Laszlo Boloni has been sacked by Monaco. The Ivory Coast international did not enjoy the most harmonious of relationships with Boloni. According to Yaya,. His issue with Pep Guardiola came when he was forced to play central back position. This was against his will. He only wants players who are scared of him and will do what he says. The first thing he did when he arrived at City was to pick a fight with me and Joe Hart. I spoke out because I felt that Pep was being vindictive to me.
Unfortunately for Pep, we live in a world where you have the right to free speech. He has a history of being targeted by racist mobs. Yaya has commented several times on his love of playing football in England, where racist mobs targeting black players is a rare occurrence. The worst incidents occurred while he was playing in Portugal and Moscow. Yaya stays behind after practice in order to continue to improve his free-kick technique in particular. Yaya and his brother Kolo were given the tragic news after their Colombia-Ivory Coast match.
When he was sick in Manchester he was watching every game I was playing in. Meanwhile, Olimpik Donetsk are seventh in the league table with 17 points from 12 games - 13 points behind leaders Dynamo Kyiv. Ahead of his potential coaching debut against the league leaders on Saturday, the three-time Premier League winner spoke highly of coach Klymovskyi and he is looking forward to helping the players and the entire technical crew.
I am sure I can learn a lot from him, both tactically and in terms of preparation. Somewhere to suggest something, share your knowledge and vision of football. I am enthusiastic to work and am motivated to learn to grow into a good coach.
