Yaya Toure claims "Guardiola doesn't like African players"
The former Barça and Man City midfielder has ranted about Pep
The bickering between Pep Guardiola and Yaya Toure has reached a new high, with the former Barcelona midfielder claiming the Manchester City doesn't like African players.
In an explosive interview with France Football, the Ivory Coast international openly accuses Guardiola of racism.
"Maybe us Africans aren't always treated the same by certain people," Toure said. "When you see the problems [Pep] has often had with African players, everywhere he has been, I ask myself questions.
"He's too intelligent to be caught. He'll never admit [not liking African players]. But the day he picks a team with five Africans in it, I promise I will send him a cake!
"Beyond that, Pep likes to dominate and wants to have obedient players who kiss his hands. I don't like that kind of relationship. I respect my coach but I'm not his thing."
In some tough comments towards the former Barça coach, he added: "
"He was cruel with me. Do you really think he could've been like that with Andres Iniesta? It got to the point I asked myself if it was because of my colour. I'm not the first, other Barca players asked the question too."
Toure's played under Guardiola in Spain and in England, but in the interview he said he wants "to be the one who breaks the Guardiola myth."
Toure is currently a free agent after leaving City at the end of the season.
