Yaya Toure's career is like a ray that stumbles but always climbs steadily upward.
Unlike his brother Kolo Toure, who has been famous for many years, he emerged early, showed his extraordinary talent, and was valued by countless people. In 1996, he was able to join the Mimosa Football Club of Abidjan in Cote d'Ivoire.
This club does not have much fame in world football, but it is well-known in Côte d'Ivoire because it has trained a number of outstanding Ivorian football players such as the Toure brothers, Gervinho, and Kalou.
The founder of Mimosa is French coach Jean-Marc Guillot.
Jiyou, who was born as a professional player, does not have much fame whether he is playing football or coaching. The only resume he has that is outstanding and has been reported by many media is that he served as a player and head coach in the 1983-84 season. As a coach, he coached Cannes of the French second league.
At that time, the Cannes management chose a fledgling chief assistant coach for him. His name was Arsene Wenger. However, because Wenger did an excellent job, he only stayed in Cannes for one season and left. Ligue 1 Nancy.
After Wenger left, Guillot took charge of Cannes for another year, but the results were not satisfactory. After class, he went to Switzerland to coach Servetus.
The next step is what everyone is familiar with. Wenger led him in Nancy for three years, then went to Monaco, then to Japan, and then shined at Arsenal.
Guillot only led Servetus for one season, and the results were not satisfactory. After a few years of unemployment, Mimosa was officially established in 1993 in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire.
In 1996, Yaya Toure was valued by Ji You for his extraordinary talent and was selected to be trained at Mimosa.
His brother, Kolo Toure, was not able to enter until 1998.
In 2001, as Mimosa's most outstanding youth player, Yaya Toure was sent to the Belgian club Beveren.
At this time, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of changing the fate of the whole family.
But who would have thought that his brother Kolo Toure would go to Arsenal for trial training by chance during the winter break in early 2002. He would be valued by Wenger, and he would rise from Mimosa to the Premier League giants. Arsenal has become famous since then.
When his brother was shining in the Premier League, Yaya Toure also went to Arsenal for trial training, but he was not favored by Wenger at the time, thinking that he was too thin and unable to adapt to the Premier League, so he moved to Donne. For teams such as Metallurgical FC, Olympiakos and Monaco, his career has been one of climbing up one step at a time.
Finally, due to his performance in Monaco, he finally gained the favor of the wealthy team Barcelona and was able to join the wealthy team.
Under Rijkaard, Yaya Toure quickly became Barcelona's main midfielder and performed well. However, in his first season at Barcelona, the team suffered a huge failure and Rijkaard was dismissed. Guardiola replaced him.
The first thing Guardiola did after coaching Barcelona was to bring Busquets, who he loved when coaching the second team, to the first team.
There has always been a rumor in Gamber Sports City, and it is a legend that cannot be explained by outsiders.
It is said that as early as 2007, when Guardiola first coached the Barcelona second team, he once learned from Gao Shen. At that time, Gao Shen asserted that Busquets, who played as a winger, would become the fourth position most suitable for Barcelona's tactical system. players.
There are many versions of the rumor. Some say that Gao Shen wanted to poach Busquets, but failed, so he chose Thiago Motta. But others said that Gao Shen made a move for Guardiola and let him
Transforming Busquets into the fourth position led to Guardiola's success in the second team.
But no matter what, one thing is certain, that is, there is profound help behind Busquets' rise.
The Barcelona management and Guardiola both believe in the advanced vision and have spared no effort in cultivating Busquets.
Although the Catalan media often scolds Gao Shen harshly, in fact, they all regard Gao Shen's words as the Bible.
As a result, Busquets entered the first team and slowly, step by step, took away the main position of Yaya Toure in the deep midfield. After the winter break, especially in February, Yaya Toure
Ray already has to form a rotation with Busquets.
At the end of the season, especially in the Champions League semi-finals, Busquets firmly occupied the main position in the fourth position, and Yaya Toure began to be forced to play as a central defender.
This made the Ivorian midfielder feel increasingly resentful.
He didn't understand why Busquets, a fledgling young player, could suddenly steal his main position?
Just because of a profound sentence?
Is what he said necessarily correct?
Is his judgment bound to be correct?
Yaya Tulay doesn’t believe it, nor is she convinced!
He contributed a lot to Barcelona's La Liga championship, and he played a major role in the Copa del Rey championship. Even in the Champions League, he played the most games as the main player. Now he has to retreat to the central defender and make way for a fledgling kid?
He is already twenty-six years old.
He has worked hard for so many years, worked hard in European football for nearly ten years, and finally climbed to the position he is in today. He will never be willing to give it up to others like this.
He wants to prove that he is better than Busquets, better than Xavi, and better than everyone in Barcelona!
…
No one on the court knew what Yaya Toure was thinking.
Even though he was a master, he only vaguely noticed a clue, feeling that Yaya Toure was getting more and more over the top as he played tonight.
But he didn't think much about it, and he didn't know that his casual words back then would lead to so many things.
During Barcelona's free kick attack, both Pique and Yaya Toure entered the penalty area.
After Naples set up the wall, referee Weber blew the whistle to indicate that Harvey could take a free throw.
Xavi made a quick run-up and hit a penalty shot, but was pushed out by Thiago Motta.
In the originally airtight restricted area, everyone rushed out like springs.
Naples grabbed the spot. After Sanchez stopped the ball with his back, he immediately saw Yaya Toure rushing toward him menacingly.
The tall, strong, dark-skinned Ivorian midfielder looked like an elephant, which made Sanchez dare not be careless and immediately chose to pass the ball out.
Yaya Toure immediately threw away Sanchez, pounced on Biglia next to him, and then pounced on others...
The Ivorian wanted to quickly intercept the ball in the frontcourt and launch another threatening attack, or even dribble the ball towards Naples' penalty area.
Because the area he pressed was just outside Naples' penalty area.
Guardiola was obviously worried.
"Hey, Yaya, retreat, retreat!"
Pique has retired, but Yaya Toure is still in the frontcourt.
This wasn't actually his mission, but that's what he did.
It's like he's still playing in midfield.
Even Barcelona's No. 4 position should be moved back in time at this time.
Napoli's continuous passing was also very skillful, and the ball was immediately passed to the feet of Thiago Motta in the gap. The Brazilian midfielder passed the ball low and long, and accurately passed it to the front.
Cavani received the ball with his back, but the stop was a bit wide and the connection was not good. When he wanted to pass it to Di Maria, the ball was blocked by Busquets. After Puyol took the ball, Di Maria quickly pressed
Press and quickly pass it back to Pique.
But Cavani also rushed towards Pique immediately.
At this time, Yaya Toure had not yet settled down.
…
The opportunity has come!
Gao Shen shouted excitedly on the sidelines, "Press up, press up quickly!"
"Rakitic, hurry up and attack!"
Napoli's players moved forward quickly. Rakitic also immediately rushed towards Busquets who returned to the central defender. Sanchez also immediately approached Alves. This allowed Barcelona's defense to not only pass the long ball, but also
There is no exit point.
Busquets had to choose to pass back to the goalkeeper.
Valdes went to the top of the arc to receive the ball, but Cavani had already rushed to the top of the arc, scaring Valdes and quickly making a long pass.
The ball was given to the right side of the frontcourt, and Lichtsteiner got ahead of Henry and headed the ball back into Barcelona's half.
Thiago Motta stepped forward and pushed the ball forward.
Cavani blocked Pique with his body, blocked the position, stopped the ball to the right, and quickly distributed the ball to the right wing.
Di Maria took a long stride to hit the ball and went straight to the right side as quickly as possible. However, Puyol retreated very timely and his position was stuck. Di Maria was forced to stop suddenly and took it back.
After Schensteiner came in from the back row, he quickly passed the baseline.
Lichtsteiner's pass was blocked by Pique.
But at this time, Naples' entire formation was already pressing forward.
Rakitic grabbed the spot, headed the ball into his own half, and handed it to Thiago Motta.
Thiago Motta passed the ball to Biglia diagonally in front.
At this time, Busquets retreated to the central defender, but Yaya Toure stayed in the midfield. As soon as he saw Biglia getting the ball, he rushed over quickly, but he failed to grab the ball in the first try.
After coming down, Biglia passed the ball to Vargas on the wing.
The Peruvian full-back got the ball and passed it to Sanchez.
As soon as the Chilean winger got the ball, he immediately started and dribbled the ball diagonally into the left side of the penalty area.
Cavani had already run over to respond. When he saw Sanchez dribbling the ball, he sprinted towards the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area, trying to take away the defensive player, but Busquets remained unmoved.
Sanchez passed the ball straight to Cavani's feet.
At this time, Alves and Busquets were frightened. They were afraid that Cavani would make a pass and immediately chased after him. However, Cavani suddenly stopped and knocked the ball back.
Sanchez rushed into the penalty area and when he received the ball, goalkeeper Valdes was about to attack. Pique even gave up on Rakitic in the middle and pounced on Sanchez desperately. However, in the middle and on the right, Rakiti
Both Qi and Di Maria stood at the front of the small penalty area and waited.
The Chilean winger flexibly dunked Pique and then sent the ball gently. Rakitic in the middle was interfered by Puyol and deliberately missed it. Di Maria in the back post was unguarded.
, push and shoot easily.
There was not a single defensive player in front of the huge goal.
Di Maria's push shot slowly rolled into Barcelona's goal.
