Victor Valdes is happy for former Barcelona teammate Yaya Toure over his success with Manchester City.
Valdes is not surprised that City have nurtured Toure's attacking qualities.
He told the Daily Mail: "Here, Yaya started as a holding midfielder and he had a way of playing that suited what Pep (Guardiola, Barca's former coach) wanted from a central defender, so he played there, too.
"But his strength is carrying the ball forward and that ultimately means you have to be playing further forward. He protects the ball so well - and now you are all discovering something that I already knew only too well: he has some shot on him. I learned about that in training a long time ago!"
