13:50 When Guardiola Came Back To Ruin His Career For Good - Sport
peak Yaya Toure is the best and most complete mid ive seen in the prem, coming from a united fan.
in the world ever. If it wasn't for Suarez monster season as a striker, his accolades would've been seen more. Tbf, nothing separated the two except postions. Both were perfect and so was hazard at that age of 22. That season had 3 players on a whole different level.
@@afckajjansibut that toure won city the prem as their best attacker, midfielder, and defender.
He has every aspect of an outfield player you would want, great technical dribbling, great passing, fast, strong, intelligent, great predator for a goal, great at shooting, great defender.
You could not make a more complete player than toure that season.
You ain't a united fan if you think this with the midfielders we have had
@@benwatkins6513 only one who competes is scholes, and as a player never had a season like toure's and is much less complete. Wasn't nearly as good at dribbling, defending, or physically. Wasn't bad at them, better than average at most but toure was world class at all, even If scholes was a better passer.
Put toure in his united they do just as well, put scholes in his city they don't win the prem
@@HarryColby You are going by your eyes and what you see and not what you are told to believe. Scholes was great to watch play, and he is definitely up there as one of the best English midfielders to play in the Premier League. Your points in the comparison are truly without bias.
I've said this so many times and because the media bias says David Silva and KDB are better most sheep believe what they are told. Yaya Toure is the best player Manchester City ever had. If you watch all the games back to back that he played in for us, and count every time he lost the ball, KDB loses the ball more in one game than Yaya did in his Man City career. People reading this will scoff until they watch him without putting that rubbish about him being lazy in their head. He probably lost the ball in single figures throughout his City career. No team tried to press him in City's half of the pitch as it was a waste of time. Wait for him to pass the ball then press who he passed it to. The only time I saw a press on him was Liverpool in the Carling Cup final. Even then he had four players on him physically dragging him down and he still managed to toe poke it to a City player and take out the four Liverpool players. Fans don't show the appreciation he deserved but professionals all know. KDB, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, ask any of them off the air and they will wax lyrical about Yaya.
YAYA was one of the most POTENT footballer i have ever seen. To me, YAYA is the founder of the Man City we having today. His presence is the spark of it all. Then comes Silva. KDB is very very good but Yaya and Silva are much more better.
@@meranicle4955 Kdb is better than both players. Stop the nonsense. He loses the ball more because he makes challenging passes.
@@bwalyakangwa1973 you just dont know Yaya or you didn't even watch football at that time. If you say Yaya doesn't do high technique passes, then you are nuts. Oh yea, kdb got pocketed so many times this season. Tell me, who has ever pocketed Yaya? 😂
Toure was dope
@@bwalyakangwa1973ok yea, you never watched yaya toure
Olympiakos fan here. Yaya has a special place in our hearts. Imagine that one first season here he outplayed Rivaldo who was declining but still was the best player in the league by far..
Yaya was unbelievable, im an Arsenal fan and I said before he joined Barca not getting Yaya when we had the chance was a mistake, I just had a feeling about him
To be fair we tried as best as we could, it's not the case that we didn't try, but we possibly could've tried more later on in his career. A midfield of Fàbregas, Gilberto Silva and Yaya would've been insane to watch
@@joaomarques4030 we did try, and no one knew what he'd go on to become (i just had a gut feeling) we had midfielders back then, also we wouldn't have known that Diaby was going to essentially be perma-crocked, but Yaya would have been nice
I was at the Emirates when Pellegrini was in charge and I went to his last Arsenal vs City game with an Arsenal fan. When my friend heard how the Man City fans were jeering Yaya, he asked me "Are they watching the same game as me?" Yaya had moved up the pitch in the last fifteen minutes of the game and was giving the Arsenal defense a torrid time. Yaya's job under Pellegrini was to link defense to attack. Kompany would pass the ball to Yaya and the opposition would wait for him to pass to the attack before they started to press
@@RoomAtTheTopStudio I never understood the hate Yaya got from some fans, yes, he looked stupid over the whole birthday thing, but he was an incredible servant to Man City, I know Pep would have moved him on again (Yaya was simply not a Pep type player), but yeah overall Yaya was a superb player
Better than Lampard and Gerrard combined
Yaya Toure was that player for City that is almost impossible to shut him down. You can't press him because he'll just overwhelm you with his strength even if you gang up on him and he can carry a ball from deep into goal by either setting up Aguero, Dzeko, Tevez and Balotelli to score or he'll score himself. Yes everyone talks about De Bruyne and David Silva as the greatest players to play for Manchester City but hardly anyone gives Yaya Toure the respect he earned by helping City from mid table mediocrity to challenging with the elites in every competition. Yaya Toure laid the foundation of success for City and I as a Manchester United fan acknowledge Yaya Toure.
DE BRUYNE AND DA SILVA ARE PALE FACES RIGHT SO THEY WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGEDEVEN THE ENGLISH ONES ABOIUT ATHIRD AS GOOD WILL BE RATED AND RANKED BETTER EVEN HIS STATS MIGHT START TO DWINDLE AFTER A WHILE
Rivaldo 2005 was 33 years old but he dominated easily the Greek League. And Yaya managed to outshadow him. That was a crazy season to watch.
Love your content. If Yaya Toure was French, he'd have a Ballon D'or
I have to admit that this award is a European parody of itself. Respect to ignored greats like Pelé, Garrincha and Maradona
if drogba was french he would be more respected
@@tyronevaldez-kruger5313 hate to be that nerd, but the reason those legends didnt win ballon d'or is because the award is exclusive to european players during that time period.
So legends like maradona and pele never got it because they arent european
Yes, and if Haaland was French or German or South American he'd hava a Ballon D'or.
@@janexerikus8021 Haaland is a tap in merchant, who is being carried by the Pep system at Man City
Yaya Touré was a complete and versatile midfielder.
All of his wisdom came from Barcelona. When he played as a central defensive midfielder behind Xavi and Iniesta, it's obvious that he mastered his position. He knew what to do, think and take action. He is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated midfielders of this era.
I remember seeing this dude in Barcelona, the field seemed small to him... Other players struggling to run in the wing, Yaya make many grown man look like children! Barcelona with Yaya was the best team i have ever seen in football. After he noticed it, Yaya was only having fun, any game was a playground for him, in any other club. They scared every team!!!! And i believe sometimes they didnt give 100% on games, they were just having fun, like brasilian kids in the beach! Legend Toure. Is going to be hard to find someone to replace such a remarkable phisic and so intelligent playmaker that won so many air duels and i really have no words to describe how complete this Sir was!
Manchester united fans know
His strength and ability
He broke my heart so many times
Great player
I always wanted Yaya in the team I support. He is a legend in every aspect. Apart from his agent, that guy is a piece of work!
The agent did help chelsea win the champions league in 2021 tho 😅
Most Amazing is on top of all of that in 2014 in the PL he made both the most overall passes by far & had the highest pass completion % of all. Absolute Legend!!
There was only one Yaya Touré. Player of his breed doesn't exist again.
Yaya Toure is surely (on of) the best Mitfielder ever.
Even Guardiola couldn't win the Sextuple without hilft, wehren he played as a defender!
A true nurture of talent. Imagine if every manager gave him the freedom Pellegrini did. He's imo one of the most talented midfielders of all time (can only think of zizou as more talented) and the most complete CM ever.
@@afckajjansi he won city the prem as their best attacker, defender, and midfielder
@@afckajjansi Maybe Yaya was better for that one year...(all round)
what a special friendship.
what kind of a favour makes a human being this loyal.
A friendship detrimental to your growth & progress isn't really "special", now, is it?
Im not sure about real friendship is about favours its about being there for u no matter what, with my best friends nobody ever say u owe me cause everyone knows help is there if needed

Yaya Toure.... i still rate him as one of the best box to box midfielders. He was amazing. He was magic.. and it was just awesome watching him. I loved the guy
Please tell us the football story of Taye Taiwo, a left-back legend of Nigeria aswell who played most of his career at Marseille, AC Milan, QPR, etc... 🇳🇬
The title should be how an agent partially ruined and changed the fate of one of the greatest midfielder
Nah more like how media was being fed oil money to switch public opinion about probably the best player that ever played for City, but whatever
The agent made good things for him. Don't blame him for Guardiola's fragile ego
Pep really isn't beating the allegations
It's too conspicuous to ignore. Yaya, Eto'o, etc. Only European player he treated the same was Zlatan and he hates him the same. Maybe bc Zlatan is of Slavic descent. I think Pep harbours something against Africans subconsciously. He's not a bad guy but he's very questionable. Yaya treatment was uncalled for especially at City. He was aging but still had like 2-3 great seasons in him. Could've used him for 2 years at least.
@@afckajjansi I think it's because the acfcon are in the middle of the season instead at end like the Euros or copa America. It's the same reason why there's no asian player in his teams. As for zlatan, it was an ego clash between them.
Agreed.hes behavior towards africans is very questionable
@@afckajjansi he's from Catalunya, what do u expect 😭
@@Edison.m3806 are catalunyans known for being racist or something??
The cake situation is something people over look too. My work gave me a birthday cake which shows how much they appreciate me, it’s something small but those details matter. He felt not wanted which is a damn shame, such a great player that deserves everyone love
City was home for Yaya. To not be appreciated in his greatest season must have been disappointing. Even the great Colin Bell was in awe of Yaya. There should be a statue of Yaya alongside Kompany, Sliva and Aguero. A vital link in the spine is missing with those statues. It depreciates the value of the statues to the players as all three know and probably feel a way their team mate doesn't have one.
Yaya's agent a real one
Yaya Toure was the purchase that convinced me that Manchester City really meant business after the takeover. I couldn't believe Barca sold him and the relative silence around the sale surprised me. And Toure was even better in England than I thought he would be. Absolutely amazing footballer.
He's the best ball carrier in history
Yaya Toure made Manchester City
I've been a city fan since 2010 and Yaya is my favorite player from City, obviously with Kompany and Aguero. But people don't understand how amazing Yaya was. Criminally underrated throughout his career and since his retirement is basically shoved under the carpet other than the occasional reel. People scoff when I say he's better than rodri and kdb but they just show me how little they know about my club. Because Yaya is irreplaceable.
He is miles better than both!
The best of Rodri can never lace the boot of Yaya....those of us who watched the evolution of City and its players in the past 15 years knows KDB isnt as complete as Yahya, regardless of his brilliant quality we praise today.
Yaya had better shot accuracy. Better dribbling skills, better marking/defensive skill. Better free kick taking skill....the only aspect of KDB that may compete with Yahya albeit not better is KDB's assist, long range shot and kdb long range curvy pass....in other technical skill, kdb isnt close
Same here. Since around 2009 nd I agree
@@ebsc-crooner5147 Very good analysis but KDB doesn't come close with long range shots. Yaya murders both KDB and Rodri with long range shots,
@@RoomAtTheTopStudio in the last 15 years, though I'm a real Madrid fan, these 4 players are my dream team midfield combination of different quality needed in a team
YAYA Toure......Best for game control and all-round midfield performance which includes, goals, Shots, freekicks, dribbles, long pass, tempo and recovery...No midfielder is more complete and allround as Yaya
Mesut Ozill......Best for creativity and vision.
Iniesta .....dribbling, creating pockets of space, maintaining possesion
Kante..... Marking and Defensive master, and ball recovery
These guys are my 4 indispensable dream midfielder in the last 15 years
This video made me emotional, this is truly a tribute. Bless your heart
Wow. Thanks for this videos. I was searching through your channel yesterday for toure and you release a video today. Thanks I'm really grateful.
your stories are amazing,,,,,, over one year now i watched all your videos
thanks to you i knew a lot about the pass football history
more love from the Gambia
Yaya Toure is the most complete player EPL ever saw! A Defender, Striker, Midfielder. Dribbler, passer, Tackler! Better than KDB and Silva combined
NICE ENDING. keep making these amazing videos.
Wow what a beast ❤ Liverpool fan here , glad I seen you in the prem ❤
Yaya is one of my favorite players of all time. A versatile, strong, and quality player build like a truck with a canon for a right foot. Busquets was all brain. If he had had at least half of the speed and overall physicality that Yaya had in his prime, he would have been one of the best players ever.
I am fortunate to have watch Yaya Touré in the stadium (2014 WC), this man is a hell of an underrated guy, nobody seems to remember him, he is overshadowed by Pep Guardiola, as his last years in City were a shame, but this man could do anything in the midfield, defend, attack, pass, EVERYTHING! Every team has got a box to box midfielder, this man did that 10 years later, when it was isn't the thing that is today
I love your voice and yaya was a really a underatted midfielder people just don’t give him enough credits btw please video on lahm
I love these videos yho... You're doing an excellent job... Keep it up
keep up the good work, great content
Yaya was just beyond incredible!
Thanks for this video about my favourite player. Yaya Toure was a amazing player.
As a United fan, I watched Yaya Toure at Man City.. Back then he was the one we all feared not KDB or Silva.. Guy was a beast.
Toure could do it all, through balls, dribbling, penalties, free kicks, passing, shooting, defending
There won’t be a player like Yaya in the Prem again
I am a Manchester City fan, I love Yaya Toure but you are wrong although he was a beast - Kevin De Bruyne is his continuation even better!!!
you either never saw Yaya Toure play or you never saw Yaya Toure play. KDB is a totally different kind of player.
@@hristianslavchev6726 watch some football bro kdb is an attacking midfilder and yaya toure is a box to box midfilder you cant compare because kdb cant really defend but yaya cant attack like kdb
@@hristianslavchev6726 KDB overrated man. Stop watching highlights. Yaya is by far much more completed footballer, and not just that, by on the very TOP of every aspect. KDB is very good don't get me wrong. Sometimes when opposition knows your tactics, it might stop you from assisting or creating chances for the goal. KDB's worst nightmare is a non-stop PRESSURE of a CDM. But Yaya, he's different. You can't press him, you can't outpaced him, you can't bid his body strength, he is so tall also which makes him a giant, good on aerial battle. On top of that, his Vision, Through passes, Dribbling were on TOP. KDB might be slightly better than him in term on special technique passes and vision, but that's the only thing he's better than Yaya. Meanwhile for Yaya, he has like 4 different type of playstyle he can do very well. He can be the midfield anchor, a classic 10, a dribble to open up space, and a visionary passer. Which makes him even nightmare to the opposition is that He is UNPREDICTABLE. You dont know which MODE he's turning ON. Really is a THREAT. I am Man Utd supporter since I was born. To me there was this most NIGHTMARE-ish time of RIVALRY I still remember up until these days, it was Man City. No,,,,, it was YAYA's MAN CITY.
@@hristianslavchev6726 Naaah KDB nowhere near YAYA's LEVEL. KDB is very good dont get me wrong. Sometimes when opposition knows your tactics, it might stop you from assisting or creating chances for the goal. KDB's worst nightmare is a non-stop PRESSURE of a CDM. But Yaya, he's different. You can't press him, you can't outpaced him, you can't bid his body strength, he is so tall also which makes him a giant, good on aerial battle, and also a DEADLY long range shooter. On top of that, his Vision, Through passes, Dribbling were on TOP.

Barcelona fan (culer) here. I'm proud that such a player would play for my team. He was a joy to watch, and what goals, oh my! Even when after in Man City I enjoyed seeing him play. Such a shame Guardiola and him wouldn't be on the same page. One thing I liked of him is that you could see he was a nice guy. But as King Crimson would say on the track "Dinosaur" : "it doesn't pay to be too nice".
underrrated for sure! I always liked him !
Thanks for giving YaYa much deserved recognition.
I remember that season, I don’t the stats, but he was on fire from the free kick spot. He never even missed from free kicks 30 yards out.
About time a Yaya video
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank u for this amazing vídeo, i am really glad that u talked about how underrated and mistreated Yaya was at City, he was an amazing player, one of the most complete CM'S to ever played in the prem, definitly top 10🔥
Before Yaya there was Colin Bell. Yaya took Colin Bells crown as City's greatest player, it's just a case of the club and a lot of the fans not giving Yaya his dues.
Would u say prayers like kdb or rodri are better now?
@@ammonia309 Put KDB and Rodri together and they still aren't a match for prime Yaya. He could do everything that they can do but neither can do everything that Yaya could.
hey Daily Dose of football, another great video mate enjoyed watching it, but can you talk about Gattuso’s career next? I feel like his achievements is under appreciated and is not being talked much, much love brother.
Yaya was a hell of a player. A midfielder per excellence. He was also skillful for a player with such height
yaya toure put city from a avg team to a top team yaya is the 2012 pl cup like aguero but no one remember how much he was genius
So listen to this is my favourite start to any video online right now. ✅
most complete modern midfielder ive ever seen
He was truly amazing, a legend
He was a one of a kind, a beast through and through, the box to box is basically a no man's land yet when he was on the pitch it was his, and his only, idk, never seen something quite like it before or sadly after, even if we had great cdm, cm or cam he was all those in every single game, it was literally like having two extra players depending on the situation.
This was a beast. More complete than KDB
At their prime Yaya takes the cake
Awesome video bro. You should make one on Paco Gento ! The only man to win 6 champions league !
I remember watching almost every game that season and i didnt know about this stat but it doesnt surprise me at all, he really was just that effective and what was really fascinating that almost all of these goals were important goals, he didnt score like meaningless hattrick in 5-0 win, but most of his goals were winners, just unbelievable season from him
It sounds to me like an entire CAREER of Yaya being disrespected... and the only person actually having his back being the Agent.
I mean we talk about 'Me First' Players and Divas... this guy switched positions to stay a Starter, did every thing asked of him, fulfilled all roles and aspects of the game requested of him, stepped up when team mates were injured, took on all responsibilities, played at a high level in Defense AND Offense. How could any Coach not fight a room full of everyone just to coach this guy?
One of the underrated players yet among the best midfielder the world has ever seen❤ I still hold you in high regard Yaya🎉 that my brother for the content, South Africa.
Absolute legend . Drogba and Touré 💯
Shout out to Kolo Toure! A selfless senior brother. Arsenal legend.
Shout out to Nasri, another dangerous player! Eto and Yaya can write a book on Pepp, but it's all good.
I was about to comment first but I forgot that some people even have houses in your channel 🤣
O melhor conteúdo futebolístico do youtube
Brilliant player, brilliant documentary
Bro, are you related to Raymar? You two sound the same man haha.
How you have 459k subs? U are amazing. You deserve 1M or more
LEGEND!!!🫡🫡🫡
i have never seen this guy being pocketed like they do to others this dude was beast
The legend
Ya Ya ... Ya Ya Ya Ya... Ya Ya Ya Ya ..... Ya Ya Ya Ya TOURE !!!!
Read through so many comments looking for this one 😁😁😁😁
One of the best box to box midfielder I ever seen…very great player
That one amazing season he also equaled the record for direct free kick goals in one premier league season with 4. Side note Ronaldo did 4 two seasons in a row and then Ward-Prowse also did 4 two seasons in a row.
Well Gundogan enjoyed the same freedom as him for a limited time and he also enjoyed the moments. Ig its running in the city midfield dna. Takeout the main playmaker, give permission to the 2nd mid to go forward and goals will come💥
and EA still refuses to give him an icon card
One of my favourite players of all time.....defensively and offensively excellent....powerful long shots .....excellent ball control and passing.. A giant among men......I feel so Sad on how underrated he is........why couldn't Gurdiola just get along with him😢😢😢
For me personally Yaya was my favorite player. He was the reason I became a City fan. I was probably the only person with a Yaya jersey. When I played in high school I had 42.
Yaya was a beast of a player, so very criminally underrated.
It is so unfortunate that sometime agents effect brilliant players in such a way. The thing I couldn't believe when watching Yaya in his Man City days was how influential he was on both ends of the pitch. He was a destroyer when he needed to be, he was in the right spot to intercept when he needed to be, he made the right pass when he needed to, he seemed to score when his team needed to. He was like a custom player on Fifa that you gave all 99s in the stats and played on semi-pro difficulty.
The best mid I’ve seen 🤙🏿🔥⚽️❤️
Yaya Toure was the foundation of Man City’s recent success
Yaya will always have a place in my heart as one of the best ...i get emotional when i think of the disrespect pep showed and he wasn't even half the player yaya was.
Make A video about the Fashanu brothers!!!
As a city fan, its sad that the club ignored his contribution to building the clubs dominance, yaya was a beast and deserves much more to recognition
Yaya's agent didn't sound that bad. He just hurt egos.
He was misused for half of his career. He should’ve been an attacking midfielder from the beginning, but they tried to make him a defensive midfielder.
Yaya is by far much more completed footballer, and not just that, by on the very TOP of every aspect. Nowaday people just say KDB is much better. KDB is very good dont get me wrong. Sometimes when opposition knows your tactics, it might stop you from assisting or creating chances for the goal. KDB's worst nightmare is a non-stop PRESSURE of a CDM. But Yaya, he's different.

I loved him at barca, he was awesome
It’s actually impressive that he won the champions league as a centre back and then became a world class midfielder
He was just too perfect for that position he’ll get the job done no matter what 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 football misses him
Yaya was fantastic!! And that year that he got some freedom he was unstoppable and he won them the Premier league that season not a stoppage time goal by Augero ,assisted by Bellotelli and Yaya should have one the bel 'on' dor that season definitely.
Can you do a video on Sun Jihai? The only Chinese player to play at the premier league for more than 5 years and lead China to their first and only world cup appearance.
Bro can you make a video about Edin Džeko because he’s underrated and nobody talks about him besides bsonian people
Do a video on dimitri😂
So... Listen to this
Iconic
Yaya had the best season ever for any player from the premier league in that season....greatest individual season ever second in surez
being african in football despite being the strongest people is hard for you to be recognised...as a hero😢😢 so sad..i do respect yaya despite being a man united fan❤
A player who id base my whole game around. Had literally everything.
Yaya could have been viera's replacement 🔥
He practically was at City
Do a video on patson daka or kalusha bwalya please
Obviously 2014 Toure was a GOAT midfielder but this is just stats being misinterpreted completely regarding their meaning. Obviously a midfielder isn’t just going to take potshots all game-he’d get sacked. Strikers miss lots of chances because it’s their job to take shots-loads of them, so only 10% or so go in. Whereas midfielders only take higher value shots on fewer occasions when they present themselves
Agreed, but that still doesn't make it not impressive. Imagine scoring 20 goals in a season while not missing a chance. I know he's a midfielder and taking less shots but it still seems so superhuman.
