Yaya snubs teammates

LONDON. – Yaya Toure has snubbed his Manchester City teammates by failing to name any of them in his dream team. The midfielder has chosen to omit the likes of Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Vincent Kompany but has named former colleagues Gerard Pique, Dani Alves, Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Lionel Messi in his ideal XI.

To add insult to injury, Toure has revealed he would call on the services of four players from his former side’s arch-rivals – Real Madrid. Real Madrid quartet Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Cristiano Ronaldo and James Rodriguez are included in Toure’s side, while Bayern Munich’s Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mats Hummels from Borussia Dortmund complete the team.

The 31-year-old has not named a single player from the Barclays English Premier League despite playing in England for just under five years.

There were no stipulations when picking his side which makes his choice to not include any of his Manchester City teammates even more bizarre.

Frank Lampard took part in the same exercise back in September and he named current City teammate Kompany in his dream XI. – Mailonline.
