The REAL reason why Yaya Touré and Pep Guardiola hate each other | The Story Behind 

I bet when Pep was announced at City. Yaya be like, “You have got to be fffockin kidding me.”

Yaya Toure is the best midfielder that Man City has ever had, period. I waited 35 years to see City win another trophy. I remember the pain and the ridicule I got for being a City fan throughout those years. Yaya was instrumental in putting that wait to rest once and for all, first with the goals in the FA Cup semi-final and final in 2011 and then with his performances and goals in 2012 and 2014 winning us the Premier League. If you watch videos of all the games where Yaya played for City I doubt that you can find 20 times that Yaya was dispossessed by the opposition. Hell with it I doubt you can find anything near double figures. I used to find it amusing to watch teams standoff from even challenging him for the ball when the ball was passed to him from our defense. They would wait for him to pass the ball and then press because it was a waste of time pressing him. If we needed a goal he would switch from playing no 6 to no 10 go forward and score or create a goal. Even though he won't be acknowledged by most City fans, to me he will always be the foundation on which the success of Manchester City has been built on.

So a 9 minutes video and the answer to the REAL reason why Yaya Toure and Pep Guardiola hate each other is ... WE DON'T KNOW.

Yaya Toure is a legend. I guess pep didn't like him personally but he can't deny how talented yaya toure is as a player, nowadays is very rare to see midfielder like yaya toure powerful,strong,speedy,skillful and above all respectful and humble person❤

Yaya toure was a great player before pep got appointed, pep just hates him personally

Yaya Toure is City’s unsung legend. Without him, they wouldn’t be at this pedigree.

Back then i never feared my team play against Mancity, I really feared Yaya. Such a natural talent.

Yaya Toure should deserves some respect like another city's legends such as Kompany, Aguero, & Silva

Did you forget the entire saga about Yaya's agent and his comments and Pep saying he would not play Yaya until an apology was made? That was a huge segment you left out

I'm a Liverpool fan but Yaya Toure was world class at city and one of the very reason City are where they are now. His work ethic combined with his explosive energy and strength is unlike anything we've seen from any midfielder in premier league history. He single handedly dictate game tempo from midfield making David Silva job unrealistically easy, players terrified of press him because is just a waste of time. To this day it baffles me how Pep managed to discarded him out of City in such a sad way.

The fact that Yaya doesn't have a statue along Kompany, Silva and soon with Aguero is criminal

Who also thinks that if Pep guardiola had managed Chelsea during Didier Drogba's prime he would have frustrated him to the point of the Ivorian leaving for lack of play time?

Yaya was so important for the citizens but the manner in which they let him go was not good at all.

OhMyGoal just be making same video over and over like no-one notices

"At Barca, some people asked the same question. Maybe we, the Africans, weren't always treated like the others." "We often saw thaht he had probles with Africans, wherever he went."

Saying that Yaya is unfit is not one of the best excuses out there because everyone knew Yaya was the most important player before Pep arrival.....I mean that guy score,assisted and was involved in playmaking he was a beast.

yaya probably the only player in that size i have seen control the ball like messi and he had crazy acceleration and speed for that size

Although Pep was a decent manager but he still have some problem with some players like Zlatan,Eto'o.Yaya Toure was a world class midfielder and he should be respect because he's a City legend

although Yaya Toure might have exceeded weight limit, he was still extremely strong and fast (both brains and speed)

The Yaya curse is Real 💀💀💀

I never forgave pep the way he treated eto. Banished him to the bench , and eto had to do the same like yaya, stayed, and eventually scored the first goal against ManU in CL finals

Apart from Kevin de bruyne no other midfielder in the history of man city comes close to Yaya Toure. He could literally do it all, Defend, pass, score set pieces, score goals from open play, take long range shots, head the ball, etc. The guy was that good, Fernandinho and Gundogan do not even come close to this Maestro.

Best come back will be for yaya to go into coaching and come back and win the cl with city.

I am with Yaya on this one all the way!!!!

Yaya is one of my favorite midfielders of all time. From a Liverpool fan looking in it definitely stinks of mistreatment, i doubt it has anything to do with weight, think about this realistically, yaya is a BIG guy, his bone structure and body build will add to his weight which will make it nearly impossible to be at the weight pep wanted, and i think pep knew he was giving him an impossible reason. He systematically froze him out over time.

What's strange is that if yaya understood pep completely, he should then have left City immediately once Pep arrived instead of insisting on fighting for his place. He had more years in him and could have gone almost anywhere as the superstar he was.

What a time that this video popped up, literally saw a 2 goal down Real Madrid do a comeback in just 1 minute against city and threw them out just like Chelsea did in a final last year ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿 the African curse is real on Guardiola

Am glad he did all he had to do before pep come to city Touray is a legend

I think they fight to see Wich one has the better bald hair

Although Yaya now is a coach staff at Olimpik Donetsk(Ukraine),he still on training session in Vietnam and he said that he is going to sign a club in Vietnamese league for his final career days

Honestly, Yaya would be a perfect replacement for Patrick Viera at Arsenal. Would have become a legend there.. And would have kept Arsenal competitive for a few more years after the invincibles era

When u see the video first but the notification comes later

Who here after citys loss

Yaya Toure is a LEGEND. If Pep had used him, City would have won the champion league already.

KLOPP plays Salah Mane and Bobby as front 3 ,African Trio ,then Keita in mid .That's why Klopp will always be a better manager and is loved by his team .Shame on Pep.

yaya disagree with coach, but never show his disagreement in front of others to be good role model for the team

The ending of this video is wrong. He left with his head high. Man City even named a training ground after his name.

That's why I love Jose the special one he never discriminates

From an Arsenal fan... Yaya Toure was an absolute force of nature as a player , and had been since his Barcelona days, and he alongside Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Vincent Kompany were the vital cogs, or rather, main catalysts of City's rise from mediocrity to elite status in not only England but European football, and his place as a City legend is all but assured and nobody will ever take that from him. But make no mistake about it- Pep Guardiola is the greatest club manager in football today, and it was for that very reason that City brought him in so that the football club could take that next step and not only cement their status as one of England's premier clubs, but also now permanently dine in the same table as the the European elite, and eight years on, Pep has done exactly what he was brought in to do- Dominate English football and deliver the club's first ever European Cup- and he did that in style, winning the fabled Treble, becoming the only manager to accomplish that fit for the second time in their career and with more than one club. Look, Pep's relentless pursuit of success and perfection makes him lose his soul a bit but that is a necessary evil to have as manager if you want to be the greatest ever. It's unfortunate that he and Toure didn't see eye to eye but two things are for sure: 1. Pep is not a racist! We have seen him successfully work with various black players eg. Eric Abidal, Seydou Keita, Kingsley Coman, David Alaba, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, Kyle Walker etc and tif he was racist he would not have worked with them. People seem not to understand how deep racism is- A racist cannot be in the same presence as a person of the race he or she hates and you do not notice the disdain...not to forget that the above mentioned players have nothing bad to say about Pep. 2. Yaya Toure will no doubt go down as a Barca and City great, but he cannot be fully absolved from blame in this long standing frosty relationship...Pep had his reasons for not preferring him, and using his own words, he was not obedient enough as Pep would have loved and Pep duly eliminated him from his plane, and he was and has been proven right in both clubs as he did win a lot and has won a lot without the Ivorian. End of Take...

Pep is just one of those persons who put principles above everything and i thnk that is why he istn´t as succesful as he could be with his tactical knowledge. You have to hop over your shade sometimes, even if you are pep guardiola. Yaya Toure was one of the most complete midfielders of all time. for skill reasons their was no way to not play him.

In a video of 10 mins I can feel Toure's frustration... Must have been really hard to face this day in day out

It can't be a coincidence. Eto, Yaya, Bony and heanacho. No ways man

Here after real kick out city 😂😂

The question till this day is can Pep win champions league WITHOUT Xavi, Iniesta and especially, especially the precious wonderboy “Messi”, arguably most talented player to exist.

Some coach despite being a coach grudge players for their skill ..knowledge of the game.and the respect that members of the team's has for that player.They felt threaten and that coach is one of them.Many time coaches get praises that they don't deserve..not knowing that the team is the winner because of the quality of players that make up that team.

Who's here after 2022 semi finals

Pep probably wants players who will submit to him.. not dominant men like zlatan and Yaya toure

The writings are clear on the walls.... Some players are doing so well and when Pep shows up players of a particular race have problems with him.... My personal opinion is that assembling exceptional players and winning trophies does not show that you are a good coach..... Shame on Pep

Yaya Toure at City was a beast!!

As a City fan for over 4 decades, I love Yaya and we he brought to the team. How can I forget his goal vs United in the FA cup semi final? And then many spectacular goals he scored and put City on the map. Pep is the best coach we have ever had! City plays some the best football I have ever seen, out of this world. It's like a dream, especially when I remember the years of relegations and agony!!! Sometimes I don't understand Pep and some of his decisions, I could never understand how he parted ways with someone like Ibrahimovic, and you see someone like Ferguson working with a beast like Keane!! I don't think Pep dislikes Africans though! He's great with Raheem, I know he's English ( From Jamaica), but a racist is a racist, whether you're from Africa or Bermuda.

If Yaya could play well with his weight why stick to your stubborn and rigid ways Pep? Yaya was a big, and tall man and it's too hard for him to be 65 or 64 kg. Imagine telling that to Lukaku. Now Sterling, Mahrez and smaller guys can manage that but not such massive guys like Toure. Pep chose to ignore Toure's history and reputation at City and used this weight excuse to kick him out because of a personal grudge. We know big and heavy people can be fit. Adriano, Ronaldo were big, heavy and also fit. Ronaldo had frightening pace and dribbling skills. Pep is a genius, a racist and an egomaniac. Zlatan, Eto, Bony and Toure were sacrificed because of him.

This video showed Benjamin Mendy as Yaya Toure in 2 clips and no one noticed?!

curse is real ahhnnn😅🤣🤣

Thank you for the creating and posting a video of our client, Yaya Toure. Feel free to get in touch with us.

Love this video, more please

imagine if Yaya joins man utd jus to piss off Pep and scores the winner

As a player you dnt see urself how you perform but coach knows everything..

Anyone here after Real?

Yaya Toure is the best midfielder to grace the Prem. You could play him anywhere and he'll put in a world class performance. Absolute beast of a player.

Yaya Toure was unbeliavable player in his prime. Sad that Guardiola managed him twice. Was absolute beast in City and arguably top5 midfielder during that 6years.

Love your videos

Yaya Toure is one the best Midfielders of all time truly and legend

Who else is here after Pep lost to real madrid. After madrid's massive comeback!

Yahye very intellectual person. Great foodboller and open minded .. Welldone yahye to me your the. Ever city pleyer

4:51 a lof of fans they had

I think its a ego thing with pep maybe.. Any player that seems bigger than him to the team or the fans he gradually gets rid of.. yaya, company, silva now aguero

Africans told pep Guardiola that he wont win the UCL until he apologizes publicly to yaya toure and he took it for granted. He came so close this year and didnt get it. Someone tell him to do so

Yaya was probably the best CM in epl before pep arrived

4:18 Thats Mendy but ok...

I have an idea: What are actually the best goals in Football History👍🤔🤔

coming from an amateur footballer, sometimes as a manager, you must modify your plan to fit some players. Look at the greats like Ronaldhino, R9, even Neymar. Managing some of these huge talents (while taking into account their background) is hard. Because of their talent, you can't coach them like normal players. I think Guardiola should clearly say he doesn't want certain players, not make it a weight issue or this or that. How can someone not at your ideal weight be one of the best midfielders in the world? then you can clearly forgo the weight, you should be able to be flexible sometimes.

Pep: "No. They were not overweight, but I want my players to be fit and weight is so so important" Also, Pep: "The pandemic has affected all clubs economically, us too" signs Grealish for British record of 100 million euros Pep back after 2009 UCL win: "It's disappointing that clubs splash money on players and don't promote academy players" signs Zlatan in that same summer transfer window for 69 million euros Terrible liar

I think that in barca time always dreamed about the catalonian team he want the team to evolve around them we all know yaya was better tham busequets that time but pep prefered to give time to busquest and at city time pep came in with mentality to control ever thing even at bayern time he loves this details we see it now with aguero he just do them no racial or biases may be little in barca time just for catalonian dream team

Yaya one of the best cm to play in prem.... What a player

Yaya a legend at city 🙌

he would of been one of the best midfielders in the world

It's crazy how everyone forgets Rijkaard had already won the La Liga an the champions league before Pep

The truth is yaya is one of talented players i have ever seen

Would love to have seen Yaya drop the weight, for many reasons. First, interesting experiment, which I suspect would have made a substantial difference to parts of his play... Second, take away Pep's excuse for not playing him. Besides that, I think the real reason comes down to the team dynamic. An effective team needs to be built around one dominant personality, and Pep needed it to be him for his style to work; Yaya was too strong a personality, with a style that would probably not have fit into Pep's strategic approach, and may have ended up creating dissent (unintentionally/inadvertently), which would have killed the team dynamic.

Next could of Koeman and Puig 😂😂😂

Yaya Toure is the best Midfielder City have ever had. Pep has no respect.

Its just plain and simple; Yahya Toure was everything Pep dreamed of being as a player. Yahya is world class

"Pep is a brilliant manager but he is just a bad person." - Jose Mourinho

Who's here after City had the bottle job of the century against Real?

Guardiola has such a strong philosophy he executes with utter perfection and Toure never fit into it. I doubt the racism stuff is true - current Manchester City has like 4-5 active black players. Now, there is a nugget of truth here - all black players Pep managed and kept in the team were born in Europe. And I do think that maybe in order to come across with his super strict style, he does better with people who "speak the language" also metaphorically. Worth mentioning Yaya, Bony and Eto'o were all BORN in Africa.

Hardwork pays it all,let no human being decides your success

Yaya toure & Etoo are one of the best players , Yet Guardiola Hated them with no reason

To understand Pep you need to watch the show La Casa de papel(Money Heist) him and the professer has a lot similarities both are perfectionist and dictator but lacks common humanity and friendly personality and mainly focus on getting the job done I don't know maybe it's just how they act

Eto'o, Ibra made almost the same accusations about Pep's way of not talking or coming clear.... Great coach but insecure and too complicated as a person. May not win CL without Messi. Let's see.

Yaya is a big personality and there’s only one room for that when pep is concerned

Ya Ya Toure is always be a GOAT in our heart

Is this the same legend who cried over birthday cake

Looking at the first team right now I see why he saw it was a race thing

A case of jealousy against a talented & gifted midfielder. Yaya is smart enough not to let pep destroy his career.

Yaya is a legend

I don't think the problem was race, i think height was the problem. You cannot force a big tall man to do what you want you can only ask him. Pep doesn't look like the asking type.

guardiola : dont like black players Mourinho: i love black players

I bet when he found out pep was coming he was like “Not Again!!”

"Tactician that transformed Barcelona is so wrong"... People forget it was Rijkaard but just look up the prior years.

Pep also had a problem with Ibrahimovic, so does that mean Pep also had a problems with Swedish nationals?
