In this round of Premier League, Walker will follow Burnley to play against his former club Manchester City. The Post wrote an article about Walker, mentioning the background of the player leaving Manchester City and the evaluation of him by people around him.
Kyle Walker suddenly left the team in a difficult situation in the middle of last season, a move that has caused controversy, but his contribution to Manchester City is much more than that.
Perhaps forgotten is that in his first season as captain, it was under his leadership that the team quickly cheered up after being eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League. According to sources, Walker led the captain's team to meet with Guardiola at the time and asked the coaching staff to maintain training intensity for them. This move is considered the key to Manchester City's final four consecutive league championships.
Guardiola also highly praised him, calling him "one of the greatest full-backs of all time", and said that with Walker in the team, he could always "sleep like a baby" before the game.
Walker now admits that his departure was a "selfish" decision, and his main motivation was to achieve England's goal of 100 games as soon as possible (currently 96 games).
Despite saying goodbye in an unpleasant way, Walker still enjoys a high reputation among his peers. He currently plays for Burnley, and the coaching staff believes that he is the best player on the court, and he also actively uses his experience to help the team improve their nutrition standards. More importantly, his relationship with Manchester City players has not broken down, and he was invited to Akanji's farewell dinner this week.
A source said that Walker has a special "halo" in the player circle. Top players like Vinicius and Mbappe will take the initiative to exchange jerseys after the game, which is enough to prove the respect he has received in the industry.
