Yaya Toure finished Thursday's training and returned home with a heart full of mixed emotions.
He kept replaying fragments of Wednesday night's match against Borussia Monchengladbach in his mind.
Especially Tang Long's outstanding performance in the defensive midfield position.
Toure was puzzled beyond words!
Why was this young player, who had just turned 19, able to deliver such an excellent performance in his first appearance as a defensive midfielder?
Tang Long's very first touch, a curved pass that assisted Agüero, was something Toure couldn't pull off in a year;
Not to mention the attack right before halftime, where he bypassed three midfielders and scored!
A five-year-younger Toure once possessed such unstoppable long-distance dashing abilities, but now at 32, he had lost this capability.
"Daddy, daddy, come play with us!"
Toure's four children came running, two sons and two daughters.
Toure immediately forced a smile and played with the kids.
