TOURE AND GUARDIOLA
Yaya Toure's agent believes Pep Guardiola has humiliated the
midfielder by leaving him out of Manchester City's Champions League squad,
insisting the coach will have to apologise if they fail to win the competition.
Guardiola has made his mark with five wins from as many
competitive matches at City, while also displaying a ruthless side by shipping
a host of first-teamers, including Joe Hart and Samir Nasri, out on loan.
Toure, who left Guardiola's Barcelona to join City in 2010,
remained at the Etihad Stadium after transfer deadline day but will play no
part in the group stages of Europe's premier competition – standing as the
odd-man out with 17 overseas players already in the squad.
The 33-year-old, whose only action so far this season came
during the Champions League play-off tie against Steaua Bucharest, will not
seek a January move according to his representative Dimitri Seluk.
But the agent challenged Guardiola to apologise for the
slight against his client if he fails to lead City to Champions League glory –
a journey that will begin in a tough group featuring Barcelona, Borussia
Monchengladbach and Celtic.
