Yaya Toure acknowledges that the Ivory Coast has low standards.
Quote:
City midfielder Yaya Toure has backed Guardiola's complaints about the ball, saying it is worse than Adidas' controversial "Jabulani" ball, which was criticised by players at the 2010 World Cup.
"I don't like it, to be honest, they can do better than that," Toure told reporters. "It's too light. Even in my country they can't use those kind of balls. I think they have to be better than that because the ball was too soft. It's rubbish but that's fine.
"The World Cup one was better than that one. A lot of players were complaining. The FA can try to do something because we just want to enjoy it.
"It's difficult to play with these kind of balls but we try to find a way. It's everything. Shooting -- the ball is very light, when you touch it, it's floating, it's rubbish. And in this weather it's difficult."
