Not underrated by city fans, he has tarnished his reputation though, with his comments and his shitty agents comments too, otherwise he would be on the level of David Silva, aguero, kompany
SPB SPB it’s definitely technique, I’ve hit like that plenty of times. When the ball is coming towards you and you’re far out you lean back and whip your leg and it dips
From a physical pov: long legs, and fast twitch muscles. Long legs: An increase in leg length increases the speed the shooting foot is moving during a shot. The underlying principle also applies to punching. An increase in arm length increases the speed of the fist when throwing hook punches. Helicopter propellers are literally traveling faster at the tips than near the base. Fast twitch muscles: This allows Yaya Toure to move his limbs faster than if his muscles were more slow twitch. So both the long legs and fast twitch muscles, independently and together, increase the speed at which the ball is struck, thus increasing the speed at which the ball moves. Aside from the physical he’s also skilled with the ball. He was good enough to be a starter in the center of midfield for Barca and his touch on the ball was at Barca level.
As a city fan I Loved this man so much the ultimate powerhouse for me, I haven’t seen any other player that has ever come close to having his attributes. He always scored the important goals that gave city the initial success we needed. What a beast and a legend. PAY HIM SOME MORE
Absolutely Astonishing Equalizer - Often a very forgotten City LEGEND. Just brilliant, there are soooo many absolutely outstanding goals. Type in Yaya toure beast into youtube and watch the vid, its mad. The skills this big guy has is legendary
insane player, never forgotten. imo seriously underrated guy. guys like pogba or balotelli or these african talents r not even close to yaya intellect and skills. sick, sick player
I am a Sunderland fan, we were 1-0 up before this happened and looked reasonably comfortable as far as I remember then this happened... I wasn’t even mad, just got to hold your hands up 🤷🏻♂️
Unreal, how is this goal not more iconic it's beautiful, he had no right to score from that position and yet ask he slowly walks up to that ball there isn't a doubt in his mind it's going on the net, just wow
I'm a Man City fan and I genuinely think the football we played in Pellegrini's first season was the best of the last 10 years. Guardiola has obviously had us playing amazing football in his title winning seasons. But the football in Pellegrini's first season was so much better in my opinion. Better players at their peak (Kompany, Zabba, Silva, Toure, Aguero, Dzeko) Faster in the counter, more exciting, more direct and still capable of bossing games with possession. What a season that was.
@@fubusupporter5933 Each to their own pal. Of course the 100 point season was immaculate. I just preferred Pellegrini's more direct approach to attacking in comparison to Guardiola's set up of 300 passes in the build up to a goal that's all. Both are awesome.
@Skillage in the village The ‘delete’ and ‘edit’ comment features were invented for this... what a ridiculous opinion on managerial pedigree, although you’re entitled to express it nonetheless. Aesthetics aside, that’s an outrageous assessment, son... almost as outrageous as this goal.
@@ceratoenjoyer Henderson's stolen the thunder Gerrard used to carry by captaining the side to a first league title in like 30 years and a UCL aswell.

i didnt watch him much at the time but i knew who he was and that he was very very good, looking back now i regret not watching him. barcelona, city and ivory coast legend. the man could be in new york and if you gave him a ball hed still bury it in the back of the etihads net. always loved the toure brothers❤️💙 (even if i loved kolo more as a liverpool fan)

@@KingHumphrey I thought Geordies were deluded and demanded trophies and CL? that’s the usual narrative peddled about. We have tried to get rid of our owner for years - he isn’t listening! Hopefully this court case will help him sell.
You can’t teach that! My god he was unstoppable in those years a beast at all roles, still not sure how he scored these type goals, yaya toure a legend
Funny how he doesn’t shoot when facing the goal with the ball under control but 2 seconds later shoots when he’s not facing the goal, doesn’t have the ball under control and is even further out. What a player
Prime Yaya Touré was one of the most complete midfielders the Premier League has seen, genuinely miss the days he would bang goals week in week out from midfield, and this is as a United fan who was terrorised by his performances against us in the early 2010s
it was like scoring from a freekick . the ball already stopped when he kicked it . but the way he generates the power while actually leaning back was absolutely phenomenal tho
I was in the front row right behind the goal in the middle at the other end. My dad had died just a couple of days before abroad and I'd flown back to go to the game after dealing with the immediate aftermath. My head was spinning and it was a surreal day. Didn't feel real. I'd have appreciated it if Yaya could have put that one over the bar.
Well kudos to Toure and that stunning goal, but actually he was trying to cross. He didnt expected that even. But sometimes you’re lucky and thats why these goals are for highlight reels because they dont happen often.
Toure does things that should not work, leans back, moves slow, but yet he is powerful, precise and one of the worlds best ever exponents of his position
Incredible goal. From the position he was in, to basically walk up to the ball and get that much power on it was simply outrageous.
Talent Can't be taught
Technique was on point
Word. Ngl he's scored a lot of goals where he barely swings his foot but still generates so much power
Its seems impossible
I can do that easy in front of that crowd
Leaning back, far out, slow incoming pass, body lateral to target, still scores. Destroying the rules I've been taught about football lol
somepeople just talented
Gerrard scored a few like this, one against Marseille in the champions League.

How did he do that

I read that in the voice of that thing off space jam
He over crossed it that was a chip to the back post 😂😂 ended up being a good goal like
Im pretty sure he was trying to cross it and it just ending up being a lucky goal
jonathan .940 nah it definitely was to goal, but it has nothing to do with his leg strength. He just whipped it
This goal is so underrated
Exactly and people are surprised when Messi dribbles past a bunch of U-15 Levante UD defenders
How can it be underrated when literally everyone in this comments section is wanking over it?
