Kyle Walker spoke at a press conference before the important semifinal match of Champions League that he City of Manchester will play this Wednesday at 9:00 pm against Real Madrid, with the pass to the final up in the air after a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
During the conversation on the side with reporters and asked about the recent words of Pep Guardiolawho a few weeks ago said the full-back did not fit into the team’s current system, the England international, who has lost popularity in recent months, admitted his words hurt him.
“Does it hurt? Of course. I can’t lie and say it didn’t hurt. You start to doubt yourself,” Walker said. “It happens that you don’t always agree with some opinions in football, but what (Pep) has done for me and for Manchester City in the last six years is enormous.” “He’s my boss and I’m one of the captains. I needed to make sure that my disappointment won’t be seen in the team.”
And Walker seems to have managed to convince Pep that it fits. He showed it with the close and accurate marking of Vinicius in the first leg: “I had to go back to the basics, to what I’m good at and what he signed me for and prove him wrong. And that’s what I did . “
