WATCH: Kolo Toure took gegenpressing to a whole other level against Villarreal

The wonderful mind of Kolo Toure.

Mamadou Sakho's absence wasn't even felt. When it's Kolo time, it's YOLO time (Jesus, feel free to leave right now). Anyway, the big Ivorian centre half had us laughing and intrigued in equal measures yet again during Liverpool's victory over Villarreal to book their spot in the Europa League final. During the first half, before Jurgen Klopp's men advanced to the decider in Basel on May 18, Kolo Toure was following the pressing instructions to the very letter. Alphonse Areola catches a corner - routine enough. But he won't be going any further, not if Kolo Toure has anything to do with it. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/728309932534149121 Only Kolo Toure could really understand what Kolo Toure was doing in this most Kolo Toure of moments. Anyway, he played his part in booking Liverpool's place alongside Sevilla in the European final. So did the rest of them. The rest of them though just happened to do it with a bit more obvious class. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/728320607293734912
