The Ivorian international named “The new Patrick Vieira”, Yaya Toure is known for his powerful shots and strength, as well as his precision in passing. The former Barcelona midfielder is a great football player with god-blessed skills, and is a master of ball control, instigating his team’s performance and boosting the Citizens’ play. A very versatile player who plays as a box-to-box midfielder for club and country, Toure makes the game more alive and entertaining.

The African Footballer of the Year for 2011 made a spectacular pass to Edin Dzeko in the UCL match against Real Madrid, but ended up on the losing side, as Madrid won 3-2.
The road to Citizens’ EPL trophy win was triggered and powered by Yaya Toure. Despite being behind United towards the end of the season, City won their last three games, and more importantly, won the Manchester derby, beating the Red Devils 1-0 thanks to a Kompany header. Football pundits and critics praised Toure’s skills on a regular basis, as the Ivorian was the player who assisted Pablo Zabaleta against QPR, which helped the Sky Blues claim their first Premier League win in 44 years. He rarely gets injured, which prompted Mancini to choose him for most of City’s games last season. He is very likely to repeat that success at the club by winning the Champions League this season with City.
The right-footed midfielder plays with Samir Nasri and David Silva in the side, and helps speed up the attack. Known for establishing a one-touch passing system with his team mates, Toure has played in a more attacking style for City this season, making the jobs of Tevez and Aguero easier as well. Moreover, he creates goal-scoring chances and scores in very crucial matches. Yaya Toure has helped create beautiful football similar to Barcelona, which has helped earn his club more viewers and fans. His rich experience at various clubs like Monaco, Olympiakos and Barcelona has earned him the coach’s trust and understanding.
