Milan, Kyle Walker introduces himself: words of a leader
Kyle Walker, AC Milan’s new right-back, gave his first words as a rossonero at the presentation press conference: "Playing for this team è something fantastic. Clearly è a great ambition of my career to try a new experience. I thought this was a great opportunity to show all my talent".
"I spoke with one of the greats before coming here,” the English defender added. He made it clear to me that this è a clubè that wants to do well. Milan won the Super Cup. We know that in the league it is not going well, but in the Champions League we only need one point to avoid the playoffs. I hope this can be something I can bring here. I bring my experience but also my leadership".
The former City insisted on leadership: "It's what I have to do. With my age, my experience, è this is what I have to do. As Zlatan said there's a lack of confidence related to results. I think the new coach has a good idea: you need discipline, that fire inside that you can transmit to the players. This è my role, which is not è only related to the field. I have won so much and I come with the experience of winning so much with Milan".
Walker could make his debut Sunday in the derby with Inter: "I have already played against Inter in the Champions League. In Manchester it was almost a chess match. Based on what I heard, Sunday will be a different game. In the last derby we won in the Super Cup, but it's a matter of mentality. We have to try to give our best especially for the fans".
On the bonus included in the contract in case of winning the Champions League: "Winning the Champions League would be a dream come true. I got to experience it with City, but I also lost it. I experienced both situations. This però will be talked about later. On the bonus: If you talk about a financial bonus, the answer è no. I play soccer for passion, not for the money. At City I was not playing enough and è one of the reasons I came here. I want to win trophies and play more ".
"With the coach we had some fairly short conversations, but è happy that I am here. He è made himself available as well as the whole company è. For me è a big change, but I have been welcomed with open arms. I thank everyone for the welcome I received. Now it is up to me to respond on the field" concluded Walker.
