da lvbet: Kolo Toure is keen to make it back into the Manchester City first team after completing his six month ban for testing positive for banned substances, and wants to prove his doubters wrong.
The central defender has been missing from Roberto Mancini’s squad since being suspended by the World Anti-Doping Agency back in March, but is now back in training and available for selection.
Despite not playing a competitive fixture in over half a year, the Ivory Coast international feels fit and raring to go.
“I feel 24, 25 years old. I want to show all the people who think Kolo Toure needed tablets, water tablets, to be a better footballer. I just want to show them and that’s what I will do,” he stated to CityTV.
“I will give 100 percent in every single game to show those people I don’t need water tablets to be a strong man. I’ve been in this league for almost 10 years now, been unbeatable with Arsenal, played a lot of good games. I just want to show them.”
One positive that Toure is taking out of his enforced break is the fact that he feels privileged to be a footballer, and he is keen to get on with the remainder of his career.
“Sometimes when you come every day to training you can’t realise how big it is to be a footballer. I just realised how much we are lucky to be footballers and be able to play for a football team like City.
“To be able to come back and train with the team, come into the training ground, it’s great,” he concluded.
Unbeaten City’s next league fixture is against Wigan at Eastlands on Saturday.
