Yaya Toure feels that Manchester City can replicate Barcelona – Premier League Update
Manchester City midfielder, Yaya Toure has gone on to state that City can possibly replicate his former club, Barcelona.
The midfielder parted ways with the Catalan club, after enjoying great success, to make his move to City. However, it now seems like the player feels that his new team are almost as good as the team, he once played for.
While comparing the two teams, the midfielder went on to compliment the Spanish club, their style of play and their brilliant academy. He also went on to state that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 were a perfect example of what clubs should be like. However, he then went on to
add that with the help of the new finances that City have, they can easily go head to head with Barcelona in the near future.
Toure, when talking about City is quoted to have said: “Man City is going to start doing that [buy more star players] and in a couple of years [and] will become a big club like [Barcelona]”
“For us, we have to work every chance we get, to do our best to compete with a big club like Barcelona.”
The player then went on to highlight the aspect of Barcelona’s youth academy, which has given birth to the careers of Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez.
Toure added: “Man City is one of the biggest financial clubs. They have a lot of money and can buy anyone they want.
“For Barcelona, when I was there, [it] was more than a club, it was very academic. Their formation is amazing and players like Xavi and Iniesta, and players like that, they came from the academy.”
Toure is most probably starting to feel the hunger that he once felt with Barcelona. The midfielder was part of the Catalan’s, when they went on to lift an impressive six trophies in one season and throughout that year, Toure was a crucial part of the Spanish
club.
With him now feeling the same passion and desire with City, it can only mean that he is looking to go all out this coming season and that is a major push for the team.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 has also gone on to reveal that he is willing to spend in the transfer market and hopefully, he will be able to bring in a number of players, who would add real quality to the City squad.
With City now participating in the UEFA Champions League, they might just end up facing off against Barcelona and should that happen, we would be able to better assess, just how war the team has come from its humble past.
