As number 8, I play next to the wc yaya toure. I tried in many formations over 300 matches. He delivers everything expected of an 8 on defense. Most players have no trouble putting bodies on it. There is no need to even comment on the subject of passing, he is a high-level setter. Although its speed is bad at certain points, it is sufficient.
