Midfielder Yaya Toure has just caused a big scandal in his career. The former Man City midfielder was invited by the organizers to attend the Soccer Aid match - an annual match to raise funds for UNICEF (UN Children's Fund). Yaya Toure plays for the world team, alongside former Man United defender Patrick Evra, as well as a number of female players and singers.
According to the plan, the whole team will stay at the 5-star Cheshire hotel in England, scheduled to compete on September 6. For easier communication, the members use the Whatsapp application. Yaya Toure then texted a message showing off that in the group "chat", he would invite 19 girls to stay at the hotel to make his teammates happy. The Ivorian midfielder also sent a porous clip to his teammates.
The messages were then deleted. However, Yaya Toure's teammates, including female players Julie Fleeting and Lianne Sanderson and singer Chelcee Grimes, complained to the organizers of the Soccer Aid and ITV (TV station broadcasting the match live), demanding that the midfielder be sent off the squad.
Sharing with The Sun, a source stressed that everyone at Soccer Aid was disgusted by Yaya Toures actions. It should be known that this midfielder has a wife and 3 children. And during his time playing in the Premier League for Man City, he has hardly left a single message.
Yaya Toure was born in 1983, emerged when he started playing for Barcelona and was part of the team that won 6 goals in the 2008-09 season with 2 UEFA Champions League and La Liga titles.
After that, this central midfielder moved to Man City and opened the team's most successful period with 3 Premier League championships, 2 League Cup crownings, and 1 FA Cup. On a personal level, he has received the title of Best Player in Africa for 4 consecutive years. In the Ivorian national team, Yaya Toure and his team participated in 3 World Cups, 6 times participated in the African Football Cup and won the championship in 2015.
After leaving a Chinese club earlier this year, Yaya Toure is still looking for another team to join. His agency in Asia revealed in June that some V.League clubs were open to wanting him. However, in the end, no deals were made.
