Happy Birthday to Yaya Toure
Oh what a coincidence! Until yesterday I hardly knew Yaya Toure. By a fluke chance I stumbled upon a video below about Yaya and Coach Guardiola’s tense relationship during their time together at Barcelona and Man City.
Irrespective of the subject of the video, Yaya left a favorable impression in my mind.
Yaya retired from professional football in 2020 after he last played for Chinese Super League club Qingdao Huanghai.
One of the greatest African players of all time, Toure was voted African Footballer of the Year for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.
Yaya had a remarkable career at Barcelona from 2007 to 2010. He played over 100 matches for the club and was part of the historic 2009 Barcelona side that won six trophies in a calendar year.
In 2010, Toure moved to Premier League club Manchester City, where he played until 2018. He scored a number of key goals, most notably the only goals in the 2011 FA Cup semi-final and final. He also helped City earn their first league title in 44 years.
Toure earned 100 caps for the Ivory Coast from 2004 to 2015, representing the nation at the 2006, 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cup tournaments. He also represented them in six Africa Cup of Nations in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015, helping them finish runner-up in 2006 and 2012, while captaining them to victory in 2015.
What an accomplished football career! Best wishes to Yaya for all future prospects.
The video below is just to understand the dynamics between players and rest of the team besides the on field games we watch. Being a Pep Guardiola fan and now a Yaya fan, it would be unfair for us to draw any conclusions of these two great personalities.
Sharing as this video introduced me to Yaya.
