**Yaya Touré Praises Manchester City’s Attack After 4-1 League Cup Win Over Sunderland**
Manchester City secured a convincing 4-1 victory against Sunderland in the third round of the League Cup on Tuesday, with midfielder Yaya Touré expressing satisfaction with the team’s dominant performance.
The Ivorian international highlighted the strength of City’s attacking options, which allowed him to focus more on defensive duties. “With De Bruyne, Agüero, Sterling, Nasri, David Silva and Jesus Navas, we have a crazy attack,” Touré said, as reported by the Daily Star. “Thanks to this offensive armada, I can focus on defensive work. They don’t need me to make the difference up front.”
Touré’s remarks underscore a tactical shift for the four-time African Player of the Year, who reached a personal milestone by scoring 20 goals in 35 Premier League matches during the 2013-2014 season. This marked a significant increase compared to the 18 goals he scored over nine years with various clubs before joining Manchester City in 2010.
City’s attacking firepower, bolstered by a roster of world-class forwards and creative midfielders, continues to pose a significant challenge to opponents across all competitions.
