PHOTO: Kolo Toure hit-out at Pep Guardiola, while telling Brother “go to a place where people want you”
Kolo Toure who himself was a former City player,
before leaving for Liverpool and now Celtic, is well known to speak his mind
(not always clear though).
The statement credited to him about the “bad-blood”
between Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and his brother Yaya did not come as a surprise to many.
Yaya Toure who has been one of the "engines" behind
Manchester City successes in the last years, saw his status at the club reduced
to nothing in the hands of new coach, Pep Guardiola, who he had previously had
a rift with at Barcelona before coming to City.
Yaya Toure whose agent is as outspoken as his
brother Kolo, also got himself involved in all of the mess that have landed
Yaya into the bad books of his manager, who has asked for apologies from
Dimitri Seluk,and Yaya himself.
Apologies have been tendered, though by Yaya Toure,
but the coach is still adamant not to play Yaya in his team, and this has lead
brother Kolo to voice out his opinion on the whole issue, and where he thinks
his brother should go.
Kolo Toure when asked, about his choice of club for his
brother said, Marseille would be fine for him, as that was where he started,
and it will be a good thing for him to go back, as he is loved by the club and
fans over there. When asked why Marseille, he said:
"Yes,
why not? He still has talent and some things to prove. It’s certain that it’s
difficult at City right now.
"We have all been through that. You’re at the
top at one moment, and then you go back down. You have to understand that you
need a change of scenery, go to a place where people want you.
"I haven’t spoken about it with him. He’s
still at City, I respect that. But Olympique de Marseille is a super club and
he knows the French league well."
