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

yes city legend yeah artery has been our special guest tonight on Monday Night Football before we get to some of those city memories yeah I suppose for us really you it was a Barcelona where you came to prominence and you came to the forefront of our minds going back a decade this team that you were part of and then the names just just leap off the page but how special was it playing in this Barcelona side to be honest I don't know how to describe that I don't think I've been lucky enough to put her on this kind of player I think he's is something amazing and I'd be enjoying my time there I wouldn't be enjoying my attempted until hopefully a hand up and coming back coming to to Manchester beau what a privilege to be in this dear kind of team you know cheerio is some only to me see javi Iniesta Daniel vase I be done it was impressive you so impressive you know I think this Football Club for me you will stay always the one over the best in the world you know the position you play there so this is obviously he did play before that of the club okay I see you either hold midfield played in this team I remember you playing centre back and in the Champions League final it's Manchester United you obviously will get to it when you go with Man City and you play high rope did you have a fear when you're in this team that you could a normal to a lot to work last place but you would have moved to have played this position or that position and maybe be in the attack in the I actually shortened him in the premium yeah definitely I was I was I was a run at down what I wanted to play in this position more did we control because that you just set up in front of it was it deeper in front of the to defend their jobs try to add them in sweet often it was difficult but I think for for the good photo of the team I need to do this kind of sadness because those two in front of me I think was at that time and they pick one of the best 12 the best mph in the world and I can't complain I have to do the dirty job and maybe and maybe I said maybe a near future maybe gonna go so much within yourself really that the role you felt you had to play yeah is it was it just you just amazing I don't have a lot of water a lot of work to to say because those guy are just religion what would you think of in Indian art Minh City playing that role the pep guardiola you played it what does pep guardiola want from that midfield player who sits there what's the main message the main message is just have to have a good position because all the time because sometime we pepper when when we play the games go all can start with the midfielder or the tree because he loved to study book from behind from the back first and after they have this fluidity the war after coup and for a white boy with a have this fluidity and is like it's like a machine is that something is systemic when you have the bowl you know what to do and your friend or your teammate are on you know what you have to do and know what is gonna be your move even without looking and this is something when you walk in a lot and training and I've been working there at Barcelona and as well other we have the chance to work in the whole inland city you tell him his always about the triangles over the trials yeah always the triangles he always because I have too much in this practice with the of Papo is almost a Barcelona same thing you know sometime you know it just just to start the boom always going behind sometime depends you know because we do have to be afraid but with if you take if you take the time off with if you take the time with the way CT are playing is so easy and is not so difficult to understand the way you wanted and after that it depends depends well you know because when the ball started you always have to be you know it's always have to be entran when you go up because in there have to be in there and is something amazing or border is is some when the PK it shows the path of three meter people think is not people can think okay maybe it is nothing you can just cover three meters by running slowly but something important because it's a chocolate player because football players always want to go to the ball and at that moment when they know when they playing because when they start to play when the ball is going at a white speed in nearly immediately innocent chavvy they know how to move and where to move can as well as me or as boots cared or maybe invest when you have to woo you know what to do and always something like that the almost quits - there was quite a father they open at common different way because for them the the best way to attack is to the would have to go to these three guys with guys the balls go calm we never know some time because depend of the opponent because now they have we have a lot of camera with the opponent can try to learn how to stop the attack of the incredibly talented side must have been a very difficult decision that you had to take you to leave in 2010 why - because I think it was a choice because the thing is to be honest I've been winning 6 true friend award city it with master owner sorry and for me was something I came down more and as what was Sir John Buchan busquets coming up was playing very well and I think for me was the right time to move and city come with their project and their minds was just get a team around me or try to help me to get city be able to win anything and sorry obviously the picture there the Simon's we got here is one McGrath was a big part of you of you leave and actually your position when you went your scientist City whether it was the owner or the manager - really yeah you say I want to paint attack and all I just wanna play holding midfield normal definitely you know but go ahead I came here I spoke the first time with the Mancini months it was was it was really important for me because the guy who or give me trust and giving confidence and for him if he if you want to dress for a describe describe in front of months in Hindman CEO who said maybe I'm better than Messi or better than anybody because it give me distrust and you know I can cut it him I can carry the team you know until Ian because I remember what time we have to argue because we have you about war because one plane in my thinking if a couple league game was normal games and he said okay you have to rest I said no I know I agree with you I'm here to play and I need to pee and it was so funny because it get angry at her because Mancini for him the most important thing his target was his best player have to be fit any demon a lot and this guy who want to win all the games and I soon I realized that I start to gain on and that's why I was thin City long time without injury maybe interesting thing for me was an icy City you know by yeah that's all I see what he does for Barcelona expecting someone to sit in midfield you actually end up playing in the number 10 position you know I mean it or not being an attacker myth was that surprising was that no not a problem for you playing the opposition no because me in the beginning of them of my career I started to play an academy in my country it was one guy was really important for me and my big brother he knows yeah uh Mac you yeah he's the kind of study everything we learn him and we understand you go to school to understand how we remember for me playing as a defender that's why I only final over 2009 you see me playing the defender and tomorrow we can see me play may be right back or left back after that depend of of the intensity dependable power have it both yeah I was able I was I was feel comfortable to play any position yeah yeah I mean yeah we forget it was 34 years I think since City actually won a trophy so how viable I mean what did it mean that first FA Cup trophy to be honest for me I was a was normal to be honest it was for you from the club yeah enough for the VA for the watch me for the club because I was coming from do you think it gave everybody else to believe this project could actually go somewhere yeah after that everybody was started to believe it and every day after that so only the team my teammates start to believe it like we are team we are ready ball monthly because we have the squad in the Football Club ever enough money to buy any player one but every program was how this big play quick come and the football club you have a powerful fortune to get any player but how they cannot make it come because to attract a big player to a big club is easy you know but to attract a big player to a normal club and that time to be honest if you can say that is really difficult coming and as well try to bring good player to me because I'm a role in that then did you speak to other players at that time definitely to be honest definitely are being able to speak to our Oh see if I was waiting Balotelli was waiting what in was waiting because before my signing those guys was around were waiting because there was not sure because when you see Siva Dutta was being at Valencia I would was pretty humid for I came after be I was in Barcelona and me I was which one and this is the Wizards lovely guys you must go it's fantastic these Simon's make you so you've initially come here one of the first ones I become you've got that that Sophie do you feel now right we can go for the lead we have difference with the silence yeah definitely because when when they didn't come Sammy come co efficient savage bow when sure how was name I forget is them Java touch as well came as well it was I think at that time after the game was the team was spot on we have a quality we have a good attacker and Sammy with silver to Kara was something amazing and greatly she was delivering something enormous and I think the team was complete and with Pellegrini we really enjoy and thank you Peter as a midfielder you know his yeah easy easy my father was that PGI accelerator that that season do you think that was your best I think I did something I did you know but obviously was not anything and the people don't know me how much why if you go to youtube you see how that was doing in Monaco and increase in Barcelona you'll see and to compare we have this off city from to another clubs you will see straight away the difference because I've been using doing that all the time we can work out with different team all along and the title feel different than was amazing [Laughter] because you weren't able to defend it what was different about the new hood the way that you had to go about it that time and the title 2014 yeah I think we were just relaxing trust ourself and believe our you know believe in what we're doing because of course with Pellegrini was always its same mindset of same plan of game mostly now you know the the opener they have a camera they have people's can trust coming watch our training organ gims know like I think he's some time to be honest people want to stop it at the open and and sometimes very difficult to get away from that because you play against him we were well organized you know what to do and they know you vulnerable on the side and sometimes you use it but with polygamy was this all the same thing and we were doing well and we'll focus and all the time was going true
