Yaya Toure Is Disappointed He Didn't Win African Player of The Year Award

Sour Grapes. Salty. Cry Baby.
Chaaii why is this guy behaving like a stroppy teen? You’ve already won the award four consecutive times and you are already having a meltdown because you lost on your fifth attempt??
After losing the coveted African Player of The Year award to Gabon’s Pierre Aubameyang, the Ivorian National Football Team captain said he was disappointed and that the snub “bring shame to Africa”.
“I am very very disappointed. It is sad to see Africa behave in that manner, for not giving importance to things that happen in Africa,” he told French radio RFI.
He added, “I think these are the kind of things that bring shame to Africa. Because, behaving like they did is very indecent. But what else can one do? We Africans, we don’t show to the world that Africa is important. We give priorities to things that happen outside the continent than things that take place here. It is lamentable”
So Toure is saying that because he won the 2015 African Cup Nations tournament he should automatically be crowned as the best player in Africa? Has he forgotten Mikel was also snubbed in 2013 despite winning the ACN cup that year? Dude is obviously bitter he lost this time. In my Justin Timberlake voice; Cry me a River!
