Chapter 101 Super Laco

The 21-year-old Ivorian is from the Ivorian football giants Abidjan Mimosa, which is the team that created the most terrifying unbeaten record of 104 league games in world football.

It is not too early for Toure to make his debut. He only made his debut in Abidjan Mimosa when he was 20 years old. He was immediately discovered by Arsenal scouts and brought him to Arsenal this summer.

Since the start of the new season, Toure has been used by Wenger as a panacea, because this player can play all positions on the field except the goalkeeper.But in general, he still appears more in the defensive position of the midfielder.

Yin Jun still knows something about Kolo Touré, knowing that he has played for many rival teams of Manchester United: the current Arsenal, and then successively played for Manchester City and Liverpool, and his strength is also good.

However, Yin Jun was more impressed by his younger brother Yaya Toure, the guy who played an important role in the rise of Blue Moon.

………………

When the league schedule is about to pass halfway, Manchester United's hopes of regaining the league championship have greatly increased!

La Coruña has performed very well in La Liga in recent seasons, and has also earned the nickname "Super Deportivo" in world football, but Irueta seems to have arrived at Old Trafford. A defensive 4231 formation was adopted.

After the opening game, Deportivo were under considerable pressure. The Manchester United attacking combination composed of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Solskjaer, Yin Jun and Giggs, with the support of Scholes and Veron, completely overwhelmed this team. La Liga's quasi-big clubs are at half-court friction.

Ruud van Nistelrooy headed the ball into the net in the small penalty area, but his arm was on Juanmi's shoulder when he took off, and the goal was disallowed.
