I DESERVE MORE RECOGNITION Manchester City and Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure thinks he is not regarded as one of the best players in the world because he is from Africa. Toure, 30, has 22 goals this season, helping City to win the League Cup and challenge for the Premier League title. Samir Nasri recently said Toure would be celebrated as one of the worlds best midfielders were he not African. In an interview for Football Focus on BBC World News, he said: I think what Samir was saying was definitely true. The midfielder has won league titles in four countries - Ivory Coast, Greece, Spain and England - and was part of the Barcelona team that won the Champions League in 2009.
