Yaya toure blast CAF for not having a win in CAF awards

Ivory Coast and Man city midfielder Yaya Toure,
has labelled the Confederation of African Football
(CAF) as 'indecent' and ‘pathetic’ for not
awarding him the African Player of the Year
award.
Toure's complaints appeared to have come from
a perceived lack of recognition of Ivory Coast
winning the Africa Cup of Nations back in
February.
The Manchester City midfielder was pipped to the
gong by Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang as he missed out on winning for the
fifth season running.
Aubameyang, born in France to a Spanish mum
but a Gabonese international, has already scored
24 goals in 23 games this campaign and collected
the prestigious prize on Friday .
“I'm very, very disappointed. It's sad to see
Africa react this way, that they don't think
African achievements are important.
“I think this is what brings shame to Africa,
because to act in that way is indecent. But
what can we do about it? Us Africans, we
don't show that Africa is important in our
eyes. We favour more what's abroad than
our own continent. That is pathetic,” he
lamented.
Toure continued, claiming that even FIFA would
not have come to the result.
“I'll give an example. Messi won all the
trophies, but it's Cristiano Ronaldo who
won the award [Ballon d'Or 2014]. What
would you say? It's unfair.
“Even FIFA, with all its history of
corruption, wouldn't do [what CAF judges
did].
“Yaya will take care of Yaya and let Africa
take care of itself. As I've been told many
times, you can't take care of Africa too
much because Africa will be the first to let
you down.
“When I return to Europe, a lot of questions
will be asked. I think I'm going to have to
answer them. As I'm someone who's
honest, I will always tell the truth,” he
fumed..
