Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker has spoken about his side’s 3-2 win over Fulham, where he was attacked by Adama Traore.
In the game at the Etihad Stadium earlier this month, สมัคร ufabet fans saw Traore break away from Walker and look for a goal, with the City full-back admitting his opponent was strong but he should have stuck out his arm to block the shot.
“I mean, Adama Traore would beat me comfortably. I would say” Walker told the BBC’s You’ll Never Beat Kyle Walker podcast.
“I just thought I had the pace. I thought he could handle him. That’s no excuse. He beat me fair and square. But I’ll remember it – my arms should be out. But you know when you start running back (towards the goal), nine times out of 10 people stop. But he’s back so deep, like I did. He thought, ‘I can handle him.'”
“And the next minute he was right in front of me. And I should have put my arm out to try and grab him. He’s got so much strength, from what I’ve see he can be at that level. (Mickey) van de Ven is so quick, he’s 6ft 7in and his pace is incredible.”
“It’s not been the worst in 18 years, the first time someone could really say. That was probably (Ousmane) Dembele, I remember when I played against him in the France game away. I sprinted towards him and he ran the other way and everyone was like ‘Oh my God, Kyle Walker’s got a wreck’.
“But it’s not a bad reaction for them to be surprised because obviously I’m doing something right.”
