Yaya hails spirit in City camp
Midfielder Yaya Toure says team spirit in the Manchester City camp is strong as they prepare for the new Premier League campaign.[LNB] Last season was a successful one for Roberto Mancini's side, who lifted the FA Cup to end a trophy drought stretching back to 1976. [LNB]They also secured a third-placed finish in the Premier League to book a place in the Champions League. [LNB]Toure, who scored the winner for City in both their FA Cup semi-final encounter with Manchester United and the final against Stoke at Wembley, believes much of their success was down to camaraderie in the squad. [LNB]"Although I scored the winning goals in the semi-final and final, both of those victories were down to us being a strong team," Toure told the Daily Mail. [LNB]"I think our team bond developed during the season and we were strong at the end. [LNB]"Not only did we finish in the top four by a big margin but we won a trophy and overtook Arsenal to finish third. I think we showed people what we can achieve."[LNB]City will return to Wembley on Sunday when they take on local rivals Manchester United in the Community Shield. [LNB]Toure admits he has developed a soft spot for the capital venue after netting two crucial goals there for City last season, and rates his strike in the cup final as the highlight of his career so far. [LNB]"Yes, I like it there," he added. "Scoring those goals at Wembley was amazing - the cup final goal was the best moment of my career.[LNB]"I came here to make history and I did that."
