The Cockney Don Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has reacted angrily after failing to win the Confederation of African Football's player of the year award.The 32-year-old, who captained Ivory Coast to Africa Cup of Nations success last year, was second behind Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang."I think that's what makes the shame of Africa," he told Radio France International. "To behave in this way is indecent! But what can we do?"In a vote of coaches and technical directors of Caf nations, Borussia Dortmund forward Aubameyang got 143 points, with Toure on 136 and Ghana and Swansea midfielder Andre Ayew on 112.Toure, BBC African footballer of the year for 2015, had won the Caf award in each of the previous four years.Aubameyang, 26, is the first player from Gabon to win the award.He has scored 18 goals in 17 Bundesliga games this season and 68 goals in 119 games since joining Dortmund from French side St-Etienne in 2013.However, Gabon were eliminated at the group stage of last year's Africa Cup of Nations."We Africans, we do not show that Africa is important to us," said Toure."We give more priority to what's going on elsewhere than in our own continent. This is what is appalling."I give an example: it's Lionel Messi who wins all the trophies but it's Ronaldo who is Ballon d'Or. What would you say? It would be unfair."Yaya will look after himself, and let Africa look after itself. Like I'm often told, you shouldn't worry too much about Africa, because Africa will be the first to let you down."

Reed or deed Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 African ego of the month. Plug doesn't even stop to think that giving someone else a mention actually serves to grow the game in Africa and raise its profile.What does it say about African football if the same guy is African player of the year , every year? What a pap. Link to comment
Guest the shepherd Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 What an arrogant prick. Yaya Toure fails to realise that it is football that has given him the undeserved life (in financial terms) he is leading and has led since his teenage years. He tends to forget that he has to thank the coach/scout that recognised and recommended him in the first place to his first club for the career he has had because without the all important recognition and recommendation he would be living in a fucking ghetto and picking tea leaves for a living back in his native homeland. Whilst he has had the ability to make it as a footballer he should not forget where he came from. That attitude of his just epitomises the majority of modern day footballers. Link to comment
