I know I’m at the right club to achieve my goals and now I feel I’m with the right brand to help me fulfill those ambitions. Liverpool Football Club has the right mentality, and during my time here, it’s been easy to see why the club chose Warrior to enter this new era. I’ve chosen to wear Skreamer because it’s a boot that offers both power and accuracy – the perfect match for my game!” </span></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;">While at Manchester City, Toure helped the club to its first Premier League (old First Division) title in 44 years.

He is a player whose immense ability matches his strong personality and ambition! We want players who do things the Warrior way, letting their football do the talking and leading by example on the pitch. Kolo epitomises this mentality, every time he crosses the white line he leaves nothing in the changing room and anything less than 100 percent is simply not acceptable. He is a leader, a role model and a true Warrior!” </span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;">To learn more about the <i>Skreamer</i> range, visit </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.prosoccer.co.za/" target="_blank"><span style="line-height: 150%;">www.prosoccer.co.za</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;">.<span>  </span></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"><span></span></span></span></span></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"><span> </span></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">See <a href="http://www.prosoccer.co.za/">www.prosoccer.co.za</a> for more info.
