Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure claims that he does not feel that he has received respect being an African player. Having won league titles, in multiple nations,and in different continents.Yaya knows that he is a top class player who with worth more. This incident came up shortly after Samir Nasri stated that ” only his birthplace has blocked him from being hailed as one of the world’s best midfielders in the world”.“ I think that what Samir was saying is definitely true,” Toure told BBC sport. “ To be honest proper recognition has only come from the fans . I don’t want to be hard and I don’t want to be negative I just want to be honest”. Other star players such as Samuel Eto’o and Didier Drogba also haven’t received the recognition they deserve just because they aren’t your typical European or South American player. Players such as Wayne Rooney (man u) and Frank Lampard (chelsea fc) receive more attention from FIFA and other football organizations despite the quality of football they play.
