Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure says Most African footballers
need to show more desire to make it to the very top of the game.
Toure, 30, is in the 10-man shortlist for candidates to win the
African Footballer of the Year award. This is the fifth African Player
of the year award he is going for.
The Ivory Coast international is also the only African on the
shortlist for the FIFA Ballon d'Or award for the fourth year in a row.

"I admit that I see too many of them acting casually," he told
France Football. "You'd say that they're not always very hungry. Not
hungry enough, for my taste. They're not conscious enough of the
effort required to get to the very top.
Of course it can go quite quickly at the start. Too quickly,
without a doubt. But when it comes to climbing the final steps to get
to the very top with [Lionel] Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, there's no
longer anyone left." Yaya Toure said
