In an interview with the Daily Mail, Yaya Touré returned to the Premier League title of Manchester City in 2012. A moment that the former captain of the Elephants is not forgetting any time soon.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Yaya Toure shared some juicy anecdotes about Manchester City's 2012 Premier League crown. While he had to give up his place due to injury during the epic final day match against QPR (3-2) that saw the Citizens win the title, the former Ivory Coast Elephants captain followed the crazy end of the game between the two teams in the locker room. A moment of strong emotions that he will not forget.
Yaya Toure said: "Do you know that I missed Sergio Aguero's goal? On the treatment table in the dressing room," he boasts. We were too relaxed that day. We thought QPR would be a breeze. At the end of the first half, I stretched, passed the ball to (Pablo) Zabaleta, who scored. I felt it right away. My hamstring. It was horrible. QPR equalized and I could hear the fans screaming outside. I told the prop guy, Chappy."
The former Barcelona man continued: "'Look, this is too stressful. Please, can you put a TV in front of me?". We saw QPR score again, 2-1. Now I understand what the fans are going through. I've felt that fear, that anxiety, and how quickly it can set in. I've experienced it all. "How are we going to lose this game? How is this possible?". I was going to the bathroom every two minutes. Edin Dzeko equalized in the 92nd minute before Aguero stepped up to the plate for the title. I forgot my hamstring and ran into the tunnel. I don't know how, but I ended up on the field. The doctor said to me, "What are you doing here?". I was like, "I don't know!". I'll never forget that moment."
