EXCLUSIVE: The Manchester City star is determined
to guide Cote d'Ivoire to their first Africa Cup of
Nations triumph since 1992 despite the Chelsea
striker retirement
Yaya Toure is determined to
lead Cote d'Ivoire to their first
Africa Cup of Nations triumph
since 1992 after becoming
captain of the national team
following the retirement of
Didier Drogba.
Drogba decided to leave the international game
following his country's group-stage elimination at this
summer's World Cup, leaving Toure to take the
armband for the upcoming competition in Morocco.
The Manchester City midfielder hailed the legacy left by
his predecessor as Cote d'Ivoire's all-time top
goalscorer and hopes the Elephants can put their
recent underachievement at major tournaments behind
them.
"For a couple of years now we've been chasing this
trophy," Toure told ITISAGoal. "We've not got it. This year is
going to be the time again to do it. I hope at long last
with my national team we can do it."
