Pep speaking about Walker last month: “He has done really well but this shape of three at the back and two in the middle, he cannot do it.” 😳
Pep was actually resting KW . but didn't want to broadcast it
What a legend on a team bristling with talent, others may get the bows but he covers their backs.
Harry Mcguire is good too
Walker for me was good, but very intelligent to choose City. Playing at Spurs, knowing porb' not going to win anything over a very long time decided to move to City a club with a strong, concrete and specific sporting project. Joining Pep, to learn and improve. Look at him now, all the silverware and hopefully wins the CL. Same for Haaland, could have gone anywhere but chose a top club (sporting and football wise), top salary and learning every day how to become the perfect number 9. Imagine Kane, hesitating to join City and now still at London. Waste.
First time I have ever heard Kyle Walker speak. He speaks well and I have a newfound respect for him.
Walker will make a great pundit one day
3:50 – 4:40 that is the speech of the great professional football player and on of the captains in the team. Just do what is your best and thats what does every single player in the City. Grealish figure that out also
Class act 👍
Him and Rose gave us Arsenal hard times
Imagine fifa thinks Vini is faster than Walker
Such a click bait title
When in the actual contextual statement he goes in to say how much he respects Pep and accepted the criticism
If anyone is looking for Vinicius Jr he’s still in Kyle walker’s pocket
But pep is not wrong.
The way Kyle conducts his self on and off of the pitch is brilliant the type of player that any manager would be happy to snap up
Absolute legend, Kyle Walker is a professional and a beast of an athlete 💪👏
Best professional answer i have ever seen.
4:16 the legendary basics of football Fabian Delph was speaking about
Thing is, has Kyle got better at what Pep wanted? I reckon Pep realised that Walker is a defensive weapon that seperates you from winning trophies or not! Imagine anyother City defender against Vini lol😊
Truth be told, Kyle is the best right back. The guy is very quick, tall, powerful, good in tackling and winning the ball without making a foul. He reminds me of another right back called Khuliso Mudau that plays for Mamelodi Sundowns in South African Premier Soccer League.
I love like it has been give for free that City will win the CL this year in the same way it was given for free England beating Italy in the European final. LOL
Great attitude from Kyle Walker. This humility allow him to learn and grow.
i feel bad for doubting walker..lets get that treble
So professional
Lolz, a little run. Smashed Arsenal home and away and destroyed Bayern and Real. Very modest.
I think Vinicius is not so relevant now that the 2nd leg is over and Madrid is battered out of the CL.
Huge respect 🎉
My man keep mbappe n veni in his pocket whenever he meet them
One of Guardiola management super powers is to build team not only of the great talents, but also great characters. Walker, KDB, Gundo, Bernardo Silva, Rodri, Ruben Dias… all those guys are extremely professional and ambitious. You need to know how to respond for critique. I almost sure, character type and personality is also important in selection for these team.
I think if he wasnt benched as much prior to this match up, he wouldnt be as hungry. Guardiola is a great coach not a friend. He does his job
Very bad in questions please learn something
Vinicius looked Jr next to walker 🎉
Great and mature player Kyle Walker
Really humble that he was saying Erling is faster than him
Anyone else tried to wipe the screen before realizing its actually a mark on his face 😂
Kyle Walker is a brilliant footballer. Much respect to him. Come on back home to the Blades after winning more medals. ⚔️⚽⚔️
Great kyle. Keep working lad coz you kept vinicius quiet.
Hairline is immaculate!
One of the best right backs in the world. He’s an asset to any team. Respect from a NUFC supporter.
Maybe should do less party
Gd reply’s Walker even though I’m a Liverpool fan & gd luck
he destroyed Vinicius who is inferior to grealish in every way and kyle almost coped with jack in training sometimes but pep calls out players to make them go into a higher gear he did it to kdb too
I want to cry, Millionaire is crying for playing and getting paid lots of money 💰
What a nicely spoken and humble professional
wow what a lad
To be honest, nice man
Pep criticized Kyle because he wanted him to get to 100%.Look at the improvement after the criticism.He did the same to KDB & goals and assists are thru the roof after that.
Seen some interviews of him lately for the first time really. He sounds so friendly and respectful.
It s a no surprised for Me..Walker pocketing Vini it just a routine practice for Walker. Nothing speciAl
Respect
RESPECT!
