Yaya Toure breaks down Pep Guardiola's tactics and reveals why he joined Man City | MNF 

Yaya toure was the most compelete midfielder of all time. He could play anywhere in midfield. He moved so quick for a guy his size, he could defend he played as a CB in a ucl final. He could play as a box to box to midfield or CAM and score 20 goals in a season and win a EPL in the same season. What a player so underrated.

Yaya one of the most underrated players of our era. If he was Spanish or Brazilian undoubtedly he’d be know as one of the greatest to grace football!

Went from starting CB in champions league final for Barca and winning it to scoring 20 premier league goals in 1 season years later with Man City and winning Premier League. Complete mid and player; his presence on the pitch made him stand out.

Yaya is a footballing legend. Massively underrated because he is African. He was in the same class as Keane and Vieira in his prime.

Respek on Toure 'I had Xavi and Ineista infront of me, so I defended' What a legend Yaya👏🏻

Yaya laid the foundation for the Manchester city we are seeing today. To me, he is an undisputed legend. A real box-to-box midfielder.

People out here critising his English, can queen Elizabeth speak my language as a Ugandan?

Yahya is a French. He's spoken well enough to be understood. How many of these guys can speak a 2nd language. I'm proud of him.

Everyone is talking about Yaya's english, but I think is more than well enough to be understood. Edit: I should say his accent, not his english.

when City won their first trophy after 36 years, it was not a big deal for me because I was coming from Barcelona.

Yaya Toure was one of the best central midfielders around, as a Utd fan it was frustrating seeing such a good player like him play for city but damn don’t forget what this player could do, he’s on a gerrard scholes lampard level.

POV: You're trying to find a comment that is criticising his english

Most underrated player ever !! He is one of the best midfielder of the history.

Toure in his prime was an ABSOLUTE BEAST! And also... a must have Fantasy Premier League player (scores more goals than most strikers!).

Why he left Barça? Pep benched him for Sergio Busquets. No other reason. Having said this, his game shined more and was outstanding at Man City.

If you're talking about his English, I'd love to know how many languages you speak.....I thought so. And I’m a United supporter! I just hate the ignorance.

I fell in love with Manchester city football club because of this legend!!! No doubt that he's one of the greatest footballer I have ever watch in African football history. Salute!! ❤️

That guy deserves a birthday cake

I'm a Chelsea fan but yaya was my favorite midfielder back then...I watched Mancity just to see yaya play

As a midfielder,he scored nearly 20 goals a season.... That speaks.

Yaya toure was incredible in Barca . Brought everything we needed in the midfield . Did not WANT him to go but pep wanted him to go

Massive respect for Yaya Toure. One of the greatest box-to-box midfielders of all time, and such a humble, down-to-earth human being off the pitch too. Legend.

Without a doubt Barcelona 09 was the best football team in history

He is a legend Nothing less than a legend He was a beast at his prime He had speed and destructive shots and he was a good passer and also playmaker

One of the best midfielders I’ve seen in the Premier League could play in any position.🐐

He was one of the best midfielder in the EPL and Spain watching his defending skills was just pleasant. RESPECT

Give me a flashback Toure in Fifa please to play next to pogba

I love how Toure told that guy-not Carragher-that he’d had a career before coming to England.

8:23 “ for me it was normal”😭

As a Man Utd fan, Yaya toure was one of my favorite midfielders of all time This guy is a human freight train and for a big guy can run pass defenders like it was nothing. We had hoped Pogba will develop into a player like him but never happened

Kolo toure was Celtics and even the best defender in Scottish football history and he had great leadership skills when Celtic was defending in the 2016/2017 invincibles season this was Celtics last world class player he even showed great defending skills and leadership against Manchester city in the 2016/2017 champions league group stages wich lead to a 3-3 draw we did outplay city and out managed pep gardiola even though we got 1 point it felt like a win for us Celtic fans plus dembele and Griffith's was on fire in that match so was Sinclair and forest and Kieran Tierney they kept fighting on till the 90th minute this was Celtics best european game since Martin o Neils celtic and the last best european game for us hopefully we beat Valencia in the knock stages and hopefully we progress to the Europa league quarter final which is 50/50 Celtic needs to give us an entertaining match in the Valencia game so we don't suffer like at the Salzburg game back in October and November but Rosenberg bet Leipzig wich kept us in the Europa league by just we nearly got knocked out of the Europa league because of the lack of confidence wich led to cheap and costly mistakes

I like Yaya. I like his plenty experience and a lot of tactics. Most of all, I like his comic style. Funny. I hope to see him more on the show.

Yaya was best on his own but he was underrated. LEGEND

Pep during his time with Barcelona is absolutely amazing. We can't deny that. But, this time with Man City is very different.

In my life he's the best midfielder I have ever seen

I love yaya in this new job. He will be an excellent analyst

Yaya will take the ball from the half way line , solo run and score, that’s very disrespectful.

Possibly the best all round player at city the touch, skill, passing, running with the ball, his power and strength was unreal. Two great and ultra quick feet his free kicks and penalties were unstoppable! So many massively important goals in big games what a player massively underrated Thanks for the memories Yaya

Pep didn’t like Yaya and Yaya has never said bad stff about him. Respect

van Gaal as the next guest

Mnf better remember to wish him a happy bday if they wanna keep him happy 😂😂😂

Great accent. Authenticity. This man is African

10:23. “I forget his name”

Good. You didn't reveal Pep's tactics

I didn’t even realise people were having a problem with his accent until i read the comments . Im from india and i was raised in the middle east , and here is a man of African descent, whom i have no issue with understanding.

Would love it if fifa brought back this classic teams like ...the invincibles,this barca team

Yahya Toure is the midfielder I admire the most

I'm a mancunian Man City fan and IMO Yaya was one of the world's best players in 2012 to 2017 at Manchester City? He was unstoppable on his day!

9:07 Yaya basically called Man City a small club on national television. Love him even more now 😂

Kante would thrive under pep. Sarri is destroying him. Its like playing messi at right back

Respect the only legend we have yaya toure

Yaya toure not recognised due to rascism and the passport he holds. Ask Henry, he'll say Yaya is among top with Dennis Bergkamp

Yaya a living Legend ..Respect !!

Should have been Footballer of the Year in 2014

The disrespect on Yaya is insane If he was French Spanish or Brazilian he would be seen as a legend

He’s got the funniest smile when he laughs 😂

Yaya s the best midfielder ever, the first central midfielder to score 20 goals n a season

Yaya deep runs for Man city was awesome to watch.

One of the top players in last decade

I always thought he was the best midfielder in the world when watching city.... an absolute driving force, haven't seen anything like it since

Anyone any idea what Carragher says at 9:15 ? And I thought yaya would be more difficult to understand.

🎶 Yaya Yaya Yaya Yaya Yaya Yaya Yaya Toure 🎵 Kolo Kolo Kolo Kolo Kolo Kolo Kolo Toure 🎶 🎵 🎶

Yaya’s first language is not French. It is Senoufo (from North Ivory Coast). Then he learned French. Then he learned English. Maybe some Spanish and Turkish. Calm down, people.

“The main message is to have a good position…to have good fluidity, and after this fluidity, it’s like a machine, something systematic. When you have the ball you know what to do and your friend, all your teammates around you, know what you have to do and know what is going to be your move, even without looking… this is something we’ve been working in training, Barcelona and the chance to work that in Manchester City…sometimes it depends, you know?” Yaya Toure, Total Genius

Humble guy. Great professional. & His wrist be dripping.

Yaya toure one among the players that I admired most, he was very talented but racism was an obstacle for him to be well recognized globally,

Good for the team?! Man, for me, Yaya was one of my favorites to watch on the field back then... he had the presence and was commanding for holding it down!

One of the smartest players I ever saw

Great yaya. Most important man in mancini team along with silva and aguero

As someone who has struggled to learn any Spanish and Romanian while working overseas people should shut TF up. His vocabulary is pretty good and you can understand what he is saying. The accent is strong but he knows what he is saying and he speaks quickly. Especially funny coming from English speakers who are notoriously poor linguists. Much respect to him as a player despite the birthday cake hissy fit.

good day what's the name off the app dey use

Something you didn't notice is that he placed Henry at the sideline and not Messi. It is a paralyze system. You make opponents think you are not in a position to make a threat. You play more on the right side since most players are right legged. The body system get used to that side and when things turn around its a walk in the park. That was how dangerous Henry was used that time. Even to date they play more of right side. But when ball goes to Alba count it a goal or a threat. Simple logic. The mind got used to Messi on the right being the threat side. One becomes heavier to make a turn, a tackle. Why Messi playing on the right? Simple, to secure him from injuries. A right footed person tackle can hurt more with the right foot. Just like when he kicks the ball. During those days when Messi played on the LW he used to suffer more injuries. Long term injuries.

Ture was really amazing everywhere he goes 👌🖐️

I love him! Guy is so honest

Yaya in pelleghrini era was beast Playing around with fernadhino really support him, so sad this legacy looks like going to change now, only fernadhino and aguero is stay now, if they leave next season then it's no one left

He was a real beast at City! His runs were incredible

In terms of quality, Yaya Toure in his prime shadows every midfielder to ever play in PL. Yaya from 10-14 was simply unplayable. Guy had everything pace, power, control, technique, flair, awareness, work rate etc you name it. Most complete midfielder PL has seen tbh. But in terms of PL LEGACY(most important criteria) and consistency in their older days(33+) Lampard, Viera, Scholes are better. These players have done it for a longer time and played more important role in their teams Yaya's legacy is one of the most unique but still below of the aforementioned names.

Seriously. If Xavi and Iniesta are legends, then what makes Yaya Toure? Not saying the spanish weren't great, but some players control the ball whereas others control the space, and personally never seen someone as good at controlling the space as Yaya Toure. Put simply, he dominates the midfield like no one!

he saw that busquets really integrated well with iniesta and xavi in the midfield . no matter how good you are..sometimes you should know if there is a player that fits the team's playing style better than you. busquets shone in 2009 and toure smartly left in 2010.

Guys at the start when he's talking about the midfield play and wingbacks tucking in, he's ultimately talking about a numeric overload. That's basically when you have a extra player in a certain part of the field.

In barca, i trusted yaya. If he was in the line up. I know there would strength and consistency

It is awkward for him to analyze pep

Everyone: Stop criticising his English! Me: Can't see any comment criticising his English

I understood nothing of what Yaya said, but I understood everything.

Yaya's ears are very underrated

Henry explains it a lot better...

Empowering teammate in any team. Priceless...

I see a lot of comments about yaya’s accent. It is not his accent, he just needs to get his point across If you know, you know

He is the greatest midfielder ever

Pep Guardiola made Barca the best team in the world from 2008-2012, he’s tactics and management is spot on and what an attractive brand of football he offers👌🏻

This guy was a very good player, and playing in that fantastic Barcelona team is something pretty much anyone would dream about

What he did for City i will never forget. Fa cup goal in the semi vs united to take us to the final against stoke for him to score the winner there too . That was the clubs turning point

His voice is amazing!

Can you do what happend to Alexis Sanchez

Respect to yaya tori from Algeria yaya hes a big player

This guy is naturally gifted with talent

Pep guardiola the best manager in the world

Dude is quite shy. Looks like he would be funny in French though. 🤣🤣

What does Carra say at 9:15?

The name he always forgets is Stevan Jovetić signed 13/14 season from Fiorentina for €26m
