    Yaya Toure angered by African player of the year award snub

    Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has reacted angrily after failing to win the Confederation of African Football's player of the year award.

    Toure captained Ivory Coast to 2015 Africa Cup of Nations victory but came second to Gabon and Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

    "I think that's what makes the shame of Africa," he told Radio France International.

    "To behave in this way is indecent! But what can we do?"

    Toure had won the CAF award for the previous four years and was recently crowned BBC African footballer of the year for 2015.

    Aubameyang, 26, became the first player from Gabon to win the award.

    He has scored 18 goals in 17 Bundesliga games this season and a total of 68 goals in 119 games since joining the German club from French side St Etienne in 2013.

    However, Gabon were eliminated at the group stage of last year's Africa Cup of Nations.

    "We Africans, we do not show that Africa is important to us," added 32-year-old Toure.

    "We give more priority to what's going on elsewhere than in our own continent. This is what is appalling.

    "I give an example: it's Lionel Messi who wins all the trophies but it's Ronaldo who is Ballon d'Or. What would you say? It would be unfair."

    "Yaya will look after himself, and let Africa look after itself. Like I'm often told, you shouldn't worry too much about Africa, because Africa will be the first to let you down."

    He's such an arrogant spoilt prick.

    Also, it was the right choice, Aubameyang has been bloody superb this season for Dortmund.

    His comments look like they were lost in translation somewhere, will give him the benefit of the doubt on this one
