Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure admits he's been battling for form.
Toure, speaking with Foot Mercato, concedes he's fallen out with the English media, but doesn't seek to apportion blame.
"It is true that some in the media are not very friendly to deal with, but that is easily explained. Comparing the end of the season last year with the beginning, I was simply less efficient.
"I want to be better in every game. For me, the big player plays for honors.
"And at the end of this season I therefore want to be better than the beginning, God willing."
