Skilled Player with Rapid Plays

Yaya Toure was trained at ASEC Abidjan, and when he was only 18 he moved to Beveren in Belgium. He played 70 matches before joining Olympiacos in 2005. After one very successful year he signed for AS Monaco where he exploded and revealed all his skills. He signed for FC Barcelona in 2007 and became rapidly one of the best players of the team. Yaya Toure won in Barcelona an amazing collection of trophies with 6 titles in the same year in 2009: La Liga, the Copa del Rey, the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, the FIFA Club World Cup and the Spanish Super Cup. In July 2010 he signed for Manchester City and played very well during the season, scoring the only goal of the semi final of the FA Cup against Manchester United and leading City to win this Cup; the first trophy in the last 35 years for the citizens.
