Thinking back, Tang Long had just celebrated his 19th birthday, while in 1983, I was already over 32.
A middle-aged crisis swept over me again, a feeling of the younger generation overtaking the older, with the older being washed up on the beach.
But Toure is Toure, after all. What hasn't he seen at Barça back in the day?
He played alongside top players like Iniesta, Harvey, Busquets, Messi, and Villa.
In terms of player configuration, these guys are a notch above Manchester City's current lineup.
Toure was also a main central defender partnered with Captain Puyol back at Barça.
He quickly adjusted his mindset, temporarily forgetting the positional pressure brought by Tang Long, quickly immersing himself in the match.
In the 15th minute of the first half, Toure faced Zaka's aggressive breakthrough, extended his long leg, twisted his hips, and knocked Zaka clean, winning a tackle.
