The most versatile midfielder! Why doesn't Guardiola like Toure?
The two have different football philosophies.
Guardiola is right, and so is Toure.
Guardiola uses soldiers like gods, Toure is extremely capable of fighting alone, and there is only one reason why the two are unhappy with Barcelona and Manchester City, that is, the two are not suitable!
With Guardiola's football status, Barca and Manchester City will definitely choose to protect Guardiola in terms of "protecting the big and protecting the small".
You think, what type of player is Toure?
As a B2B midfielder, Toure is all-powerful in attack and defence, physically strong, excellent in confrontation, with excellent speed, technique and awareness.
And Toure's physical strength is abundant, covering a large area, and can be used as two people by one person on the field.
In addition, Toure's scoring ability is super strong, and he can even play the efficiency of 20 goals in a single season in the Premier League at Manchester City.
I don't think a lot of strikers can score like Toure.
Toure was already strong when he was at Barca, winning the Champions League and La Liga.
However, Guardiola is more accustomed to the "pass control football system".
You could argue that Busquets' "hard metrics" such as scoring, running, breakouts and confrontations are not as good as Toure.
However, Professor Renbu's ability to control the field and shoot the ball is more in line with Guardiola's philosophy of passing football.
He was better suited to Barca than Toure, who had to leave the squad.
Toure was strong during the Manchester City era, winning premier league titles, best player and African footballer of the year, but he was also not the player Guardiola needed.
Guardiola's tactical system does not highlight the personal ability and scoring data of midfielders, and he prefers that the core of the midfield can use the ability to control the rhythm of the game to drive Manchester City's attack.
As a result, Toure could only leave Manchester City.
I always felt that Toure was the strongest B2B midfielder of the 21st century, he was the most versatile midfielder, but he really wasn't Guardiola's dish.
Who do you think is stronger, Toure and now De Bruyne? Welcome to discuss together.
