"Manchester City" club strategist Manuel Pellegrini spared no praise for team leader Yaya Toure.

The Ivory Coast national team member has scored five goals in the last seven matches and has demonstrated top-level football.

"Yaya is an important member of the team. I don't know what happened last year, but now the team plays with confidence and his goals only add to it.

Toure usually stays after practice to work on his ball skills. Currently, he is showing excellent form," praised the strategist.

"Manchester City" signed Y. Toure in 2010, when the "citizens" did not hesitate to pay 30 million euros for the former "Barcelona" midfielder."
