🚨YAYA TOURÉ ON MANCHESTER CITY’S 114 CHARGES: 🎙️Reporter: Yaya, when you saw the news that Manchester City had been found guilty of 114 charges, what was your first reaction? 🗣️Yaya Touré: Honestly? I was not surprised. I have been saying for years that there were things inside that club that people outside could never see. When I saw the news, I just smiled and thought, “Now maybe people will understand why I spoke the way I did.” 🎙️Reporter: You have previously spoken very critically about Pep Guardiola. Do you still blame him for what happened between you and Manchester City? 🗣️Yaya Touré: Absolutely. Pep changed everything. When I arrived at Manchester City, I believed in the club. I believed in the people there. But after Pep came, the relationship changed completely. He turned the situation against me and made it look like I was the problem. People thought I was angry because I left Manchester City. No. I was angry because of how I was treated. And I told people before: there are things happening at Manchester City that the public doesn’t know about. 🎙️Reporter: So when you saw the 114 charges, did you feel vindicated? 🗣️Yaya Touré: I don’t want to say “I told you so.” But… I told you so. For years, people laughed at me. They said Yaya was bitter. They said I was trying to damage Guardiola and Manchester City. Now everyone is asking questions. I am not celebrating what is happening to Manchester City. But I am saying this: sometimes the truth takes years to come out. And Pep knows there are conversations between us that I have never made public. Reporter: What do you mean by that? Yaya Touré: I mean exactly what I said. Something is somewhere. And one day, people will understand why I was so angry. 🎙️Reporter: Do you think Manchester City should lose their titles? 🗣️Yaya Touré: If the charges are confirmed through the proper process, then football must accept the consequences. Nobody should be bigger than the rules.
