Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure is "furious" and
wants Uefa to act on racist chanting after claiming he
was targeted by home fans during his side's 2-1 victory at CSKA Moscow. The Ivory Coast international said he told referee Ovidiu
Hategan about the chants as City came from behind to
win the Champions League Group D tie. City, for whom Sergio Aguero scored twice, will make a
complaint to Uefa. Toure said: "I'm not just disappointed, I'm furious." The 30-year-old captained City in the absence of injured
defender Vincent Kompany. He added: "I'm very, very disappointed about what
those fans have done. I think Uefa has to take action
because players with the same colour of skin will always
be in the same position. "For me, as captain, I was wearing an armband which
said 'no to racism' and I was totally disappointed. "I told the referee. It was unbelievable and very sad." Asked what action he would like the European
governing body to take, Toure said: "Maybe they could
ban the stadium, I don't know, for a couple of years or a
couple of months. "We have to be as strong as possible otherwise they will
continue like that. Too much is too much. We have to
stop it now." In May, Uefa announced that for racist incidents involving spectators, a partial stadium closure for the first offence and a full stadium closure for a second,
coupled with a fine of 50,000 euros (£42,800), would be
applied. Toure added: "I played in Ukraine [for Metalurh Donetsk]
. It's not only in Eastern Europe and I have some friends
who have had problems too. "It's stupid. It just happens in football. As an African
player, it is always sad when you hear something like
that." City boss Manuel Pellegrini also called for action and said:
"I think it's a pity that anyone would do such stupid
things. I hope that they have heard the right measures
to stop all those things, so it's a pity for Yaya, its a pity
for the city." Kompany did not play because of a thigh injury, but in a tweet(external) after the game he wrote: "Racist chants again in Moscow today. We've all said enough. Uefa, the
Russian government and CSKA, all eyes are on you now.
#StopRacism." Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce told BBC Radio 5 live: "I am
absolutely appalled. I have always been very outspoken
about any form of racism in sport. Fifa and Uefa are
absolutely united in making sure these events will
become a thing of the past. I have always said fining
clubs is not a solution to this problem because they can't stop some of these idiots. "The new rules say sanctions will be imposed. "It's got to be eradicated and the only way to do that is
to take serious action against the people who do it. Don't
allow them to watch football matches and then perhaps
they'll stop when they realise they won't get into a
ground." With Russia staging the 2018 World Cup, Boyce added
that the authorities needed to tackle racism in the
country as a matter of urgency. "The Russian federation
has got to assure - along with the Russian government -
that these incidents are put to bed because it's happening
too often," he said. Head of Football Against Racism in Europe, Piara Power,
said: "It's taken a long time but we are seeing some
movement on the sanctions side. In terms of education, I
don't know how long it's going to take, to educate fans
like we've seen at CSKA. "We need governments to intervene. Clubs will not stand
up to presidents when they are told 'you are bringing
our country into shame, you need to deal with this
problem overnight'." Speaking to 5 live he added: "The key thing here is Yaya
Toure did what he should do: approach the referee and
tell him about it. That means that technically the Uefa
process is triggered. The referee will have to mention it
to the Uefa delegate at the match, he will put it in his
report and Uefa will then have to charge CSKA."

You're a fool Yaya Toure.

You should have WALKED OFF THE FIELD like your mates do nowadays in such situations.

WALK OFF THE FIELD. THAT MAKES THE NEWS, AND PUTS PRESSURE ON THE EVIL RACISTS AND THE DO-NOTHING UEFA AND FIFA.

Russia and their racism.
