Anthony Akumu explains why Kenya’s rivals should be very afraid of Benni McCarthy
Harambee Stars midfielder Anthony has given reasons why Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy will soon surprise many after what he has seen from the South African legend.
“In my early days with Barcelona during training, Ronaldinho seemed ordinary. But one day he came to me and said, ‘Be careful, Yaya, if you get close to me, I’ll make you a laughing stock.’ I thought he was just joking, but every time I got near him, he’d nutmeg me,” Toure added.
Yaya Toure also spoke about Lionel Messi among his other favourites, as he explained that the Argentine football star was fragile and always protected.
He noted that opponents would always downplay him but they knew how talented he was and he helped them come out as winners in most of their matches.
“Everyone protected him, because we knew he was a talented player and we recognized how good he was. That was very beneficial for the club. We were happy when opponents pressed us high. Because we simply, without thinking, would try to pass the ball to him immediately,” he revealed.
Speaking about the impact Xavi and Andreas Iniesta had on his career, Yaya Toure said: “Iniesta and Xavi never lost the ball in training. As brilliant as they were, they were very simple. I was always laughing at their simple style of dressing.”
Yaya Toure had a dream of playing for Barcelona and when he got that chance, he never looked back, gaining all the skills he needed and showing off. With legends like Samuel Eto’o and Thierry Henry by his side, Yaya Toure emerged to be one of the greatest football players.
