Yaya Toure says he will choose glory for his country over his club any day.
.
The four-time Africa Player of the Year has now won an elusive piece of silverware which had been an albatross around his neck for years – the Africa Cup of Nations trophy.
.
Ivory Coast’s Afcon win on Sunday is more overwhelming than what he has experienced with his clubs, the big midfielder revealed.
.
“When you win with your club it’s quite amazing but with your country it’s unbelievable,” Toure told reporters.
.
This conversation comes after the Elephants stormed to a dramatic 9-8 penalty shootout victory over Ghana in the final of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
.
Many pundits say that despite Yaya’s titles in Spain, England, Greece, European titles and his native Ivory Coast, this Afcon win is what will really seal his place in lore.
.
“I’ve been waiting I don’t know how many years to lift this trophy – as captain it is something special. The luck came to our side today. I’m delighted and very happy.”
