The newly crowned champions’ Kevin De Bruyne and the current top goal scorer and record breaking Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah. The two players have been outstanding for the greatest parts of this season. De Bruyne received praise from the likes of Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Thierry Henry, and Jamie Redknapp for his brilliant passing ability and work rate. The pundits have since drawn Leroy Sane also won the PFA Young Player of comparison of him to the greatest midfielders the Year award for his outstanding contribution to have ever played in the Premier League. this season.

Yaya Toure, an all-round midfielder from Cote d’Ivoire, played for Barcelona and Manchester WHO IS YAYA City in the best years of his career. The 33-year old is approaching the end of his time at the Etihad with his contract set to expire at the end of the 2017/18 TOURE? season. Let’s look at what Yaya Toure has been through during his stay at the above-mentioned clubs in Europe. First off, let’s focus on his time at Barcelona. Yaya Toure joined Barcelona from Monaco in 2007 for £6.7m after being an influential midfielder for the French side where he rescued them from relegation. However, Toure had problems with the previous manager of the club, Laszlo Boloni, who was not playing him in his midfield most preferred position. When he joined Barcelona, he enjoyed the first season under Rijkaard where he made a total of 40 appearances which managed two goals. Yaya Toure was still in the shadow of big brother Kolo who was making a name for himself at Arsenal as a rock solid defender in the EPL. Guardiola took over the reins just a year later, and he preferred Busquets to Yaya Toure as the defensive midfielder for Barcelona in 2008. The promise of first-team football in his preferred position at Barcelona was not going to be possible. Guardiola used the player as a center-back in the UEFA Champions League final in 2009 when the team suffered from injuries. He was later allowed to move to the club of his dream in 2010. Manchester City approached Toure and he, initially F I thought that he would be joining Sir Alex Ferguson R S T at Manchester United. It was his agent who clarified T O that he was joining the team who wears blue and he U C was excited by the challenge of joining a club that H | P was in the shadow of their local rivals. A G E 5 Manchester City paid £24.6 million for the services of a player who was pretty much a reserve player and Toure was going to be receiving £139,000 a week. The journey of the African player to become a legend at the Etihad Stadium was set on course. 2012 was a year of history for the cash-rich Manchester club. It is the year that the club beat Manchester United to the title on goal difference. Sergio Aguero scored the winner for Manchester City in stoppage time of the last game in the 2011/12 season. Yaya Toure was an integral part of the club’s midfield. This earned him much respect in the English Premier League and comparisons with some His career might sound smooth when reading this of the greatest midfielders in the league like piece, but Toure has had his fair share of Keane, Vieira, etc. was just a moment away. controversy during his time at City. The player once Toure came out and thanked his teammates threatened to leave the club because they had for the title and paid tribute to his manager forgotten to show him love on his 31st birthday. His for trusting in him and playing him in a agent, Dimitry Seluk, is the one that confirmed the position that he found difficult to maintain in story that the player felt disrespected and the club the previous clubs he represented. was put under pressure. Some saw this incident as a stunt by the pair to pressurize the club to improve In addition to that, Toure evolved to become the terms of the contract, and the club fell for it.

  • Passeport Pour La CAN 2012 Xxviiie COUPE D'afrique DES NATIONS DE FOOTBALL Gabon & Guinée Équatoriale 21 Janvier
    Passeport pour la CAN 2012 XXVIIIe COUPE D’AFRIQUE DES NATIONS DE FOOTBALL Gabon & Guinée Équatoriale 21 janvier – 12 février 2012 Ré alisé par Rfi Multimedia 1 INTRODUCTION La CAN se déroule pour la deuxième fois seulement de son histoire en Afrique centrale. Quarante ans après l’édition 1972 au Cameroun, le Gabon et la Guinée équatoriale coorganisent la plus grande manifestation sportive du continent. Contrairement à la CAN 2000 au Nigeria et au Ghana, c’est un mariage de raison qui rassemble Gabonais et Equato-Guinéens. Les deux Fédérations de football ont uni leurs forces pour cette occasion. Le pari est difficile mais il est beau car cette CAN 2012 s’annonce palpitante. Pour la première fois depuis la CAN 1996 et le forfait de la sélection nigériane, le vainqueur est absent lors de la phase finale suivante. Les Pharaons d’Egypte, malgré leurs sept sacres, n’ont pas franchi les éliminatoires, comme les Camerounais (4 trophées), les Nigérians (2 trophées), les Léopards de RD Congo (2) et les Algériens (1). Les équipes du Ghana et de la Côte d’Ivoire, présentes lors de la Coupe du monde 2010, seront donc les favorites du tournoi. Il faudra aussi compter avec le Sénégal et le Maroc qui reviennent fort après avoir manqué la Coupe d’Afrique 2010. Cette toute dernière CAN disputée une année paire permettra aussi au grand public, de découvrir de nouveaux joueurs. Les Botswanais, les Equato-Guinéens et les Nigériens feront leurs tous premiers pas dans la compétition. Souhaitons-leur que cette 28e édition ressemble plus à la très belle CAN 2008 qu’à la décevante CAN 2010.
