MANCHESTER, England -- Yaya Toure retired from international football with the Ivory Coast on Tuesday -- and wont be playing again for Manchester City either unless his agent apologizes for comments about club coach Pep Guardiola.The midfielders representative, Dimitri Seluk, recently said Guardiola humiliated his client by leaving him out of Citys squad for the Champions League group stageThat irritated Guardiola, who said that since then Yaya is out.I accept if Mr. Dimitri Seluk came in a press conference or (spoke to) his friends in the media -- because he has not the courage to call me -- and apologized to Manchester City, his teammates, and the trainer, Guardiola said.When that happens, Yaya will be part of the group and he will have the same chance to play all the games.Until then, the 33-year-old Toure wont be adding to his one appearance this season, a virtually dead match in the Champions League playoffs. He didnt even make the substitutes bench for Citys other seven matches so far. City has won all eight games.What do I need to apologize for? Seluk told Sky Sports. Guardiola wins a few games and he thinks he is king.I dont say anything special, and secondly, I live in a democratic country where I can say what I want. Guardiola wont tell me what I say and what I wont say. My opinion is my opinion.An integral part of Citys team since signing for the English club in 2010, Toure struggled for form last season and isnt deemed fit enough by Guardiola to play Citys high-energy pressing game in the Spanish coachs first season at Etihad Stadium.Guardiola previously coached Toure at Barcelona, and sold him to City.Now City coach, Guardiola has showed he is not afraid of taking on big personalities at the club, having also sent longtime goalkeeper Joe Hart on loan to Torino for the rest of the season.I cannot imagine in my period when I was a football player (at Barcelona), my (agent) going to the media and speaking against (former Barca coach) Johan Cruyff, about this and about that, Guardiola said. Maybe its a new era now, the new period changing, but Im an old guy. I am old generation, and (an) old-generation manager has to make his players his job and trainers his job.Seluk is an outspoken agent, and even complained in 2014 that City showed Toure -- a four-time African player of the year -- a lack of respect by not giving him a cake for his 31st birthday.Today, (agents) believe they are more than they are, Guardiola said. If he has a problem call (director of football) Txiki Begiristain, the club, and they can talk. Until he doesnt speak, Yaya is not going to play.Seluk said he believes Guardiola should respect Citys history and called on the coach to also apologize to both Toure and Hart.Hours before Guardiola spoke out, Toure announced in a statement on his Twitter page that he would no longer play for Ivory Coast.He played 113 times for his country, captaining the Ivorians to the Africa Cup of Nations title last year.The fact that I am 33 now, the intensity of training and the multitude of games are not the reasons why I am making this decision, Toure wrote. Football is everything to me, and it gave me so much in my career that I no longer feel able to set myself new goals as a player with the Elephants of Ivory Coast.Vapormax Weiß Sale .

They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive display.SAINT PAUL, Minn. -- When their team scores a goal at home, Calgary Flames fans are used to fire shooting from strategic points in their buildings ceiling, not from the home teams bench.Still, Flames first-year coach Glen Gulutzan is finding himself on an increasingly hot seat with less than 20 percent of the seasons games played as Calgary sinks further and further back in the Western Conference standings.The Flames come to Minnesota on Tuesday having lost four in a row, and owning a 5-10-1 mark, which is second-worst in the league (ahead of only the Arizona Coyotes).All of that recent losing had Gulutzan juggling his lines on Monday at practice before the team boarded a Minnesota-bound plane, looking for a new spark.When you lose four in a row, youve got to make some changes, Gulutzan said, without revealing the exact combinations the Wild will be expected to counter on Tuesday, although it looks as if Alex Chiasson will move to the second line and be replaced by Troy Brouwer, who will play with regular top-liners Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan. Any guy weve got here weve got a chance of putting in, so well see how the lineup transpires.The Flames have scored just four goals during the four-game skid, and speculation is growing in Calgary that an early-season coaching change may be needed. However, Gulutzan, who coached the Dallas Stars for two seasons and is in his second head-coaching gig in the NHL, is less concerned about offense and focusing more on his teams inabiliity to consistently stifle the opponents offense.ddddddddddddEverybodys talking about the points, but the reality is weve given up 60-some goals, 50-some goals, Gulutzan said. If you go back a year from now, one of the reasons we didnt have success is we gave up 260-some goals. The top teams in the league dont do that.After a brief power outage in early November, the Wild (8-5-1) are back to looking like one of the top teams in the league, coming home after two weeks away and having just collected four of a possible six points on a three-game eastern road trip. And the health news is even better in Minnesota, after star left winger Zach Parise skated in practice on Monday and may return to the lineup after a two-week absence caused by a lower-body injury.Its good. It beats skating on your own, Parise said Monday after practice. Its one of those things I needed to get the progress and get back to feeling good again. It was good to be practicing with the team.Parise said he felt fine and would make his case to coach Bruce Boudreau about a return to the ice against the Flames on Tuesday, hoping to join Charlie Coyle and Eric Staal on the teams top line.It is the start of a whirlwind stretch in which Minnesota will play seven games in 12 days -- five of them at home.The Wild defense is on a roll, having allowed just nine goals in the past eight games.
