Touré: “I am very happy”

Marc Guillén

Barça midfielder Touré Yaya is delighted with the way the team is performing and also the way things are going for him on a personal level.

Touré Yaya only has good words to say about Barça’s season so far. “I am delighted because the team is playing so well. Everything’s working fine and the coach knows exactly how we have to play”, said the player, who has also noticed the side is playing the ball around much faster this season.

Barça have got style

The Ivorian is enjoying his life at a big club like Barça that also knows how to play football, and feels that the way they are going, there are surely going to be titles to celebrate at the end of the season. “We are very united and focused on getting results like the one at Sevilla”, he said.

“Messi is the best in the world”

“Right now I think Messi is the best player in the world and he should win the prize next year” he said, when asked to comment on the Ballon d’Or award that Xavi and Eto’o were also in the running to collect.

But Touré did feel that Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo was a deserving winner. “He deserves it because he’s a top quality player, and last years he had a fantastic Champions League” he said.
