Yaya Toure's year in numbers
Ahram Online provides a statistical look at the year of Ivory Coast and Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure who has been named African Player of the Year 2013
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 10 - 01 - 2014

0: Yaya Toure won no titles as Ivory Coast were eliminated from the quarter finals in the Nations Cup 2013 while Manchester City finished runners up in the Premier League.
0.53: Yaya Toure has the best scoring average as a midfielder in the Premier League with 10 goals in 19 matches by 9 January 2014.
1: The Ivorian midfielder scored one double this year against West Brom last month that proved to be crucial for Manchester City as they claimed a 3-2 win to pile the pressure on leaders Arsenal who have 45 points one ahead of the Citizens.
2: The gifted midfielder scored twice in the CAN 2013, but Ivory Coast failed to meet the expectations as they were beaten by future champions Nigeria in the quarter finals.
3: The Ivorian international became the second player to win a straight hat-trick of the African footballer of the year after Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o in 2003, 2004 and 2005 (Eto'o won a fourth title in 2010). Toure is the second Ivorian player to claim the most prestigious prize after teammate Didier Drogba won the title twice in 2006 and 2009.
4: He scored four goals for Ivory Coast in the World Cup qualifiers campaign that helped the Elephants to a third straight final in Brazil.
10: The 10 goals scored by Toure so far in the Premier League is his best performance in a single season. He hit six during the previous season. Under coach Manuel Pellegrini he was set free in a more attacking role and developed an important aspect of his game: free kicks. He netted four of them.
13.2: The 30-year old signed a four-year contract with Manchester City in April 2013 that will reportedly earn him 13.2 million euros until June 2017.
72: He plays his 72th game for Ivory Coast playing against Senegal in the World Cup playoffs on 16 November 2013. Toure has scored 12 goals in his international career.
2018: Toure said he may boycott the World Cup 2018 in Russia as he has been victim of racist chants during a Champions League encounter against CSKA Moscow last October. He criticized the country's poor record in the matter and said the players need to be safe when they travel to Russia.
