Milan, Jan 30: England defender Kyle Walker may have second thoughts about his recent switch from Manchester City to AC Milan, particularly after observing firsthand some troubling performances from his new team. Even Milan’s coach, Sérgio Conceição, hasn’t hesitated to highlight his squad’s deficit in basic football skills. Walker joined Milan on loan last week, with a potential for a permanent move after the season’s conclusion.
Although he’s yet to step on the pitch for Milan due to being cup-tied, Walker watched from the sidelines as the Rossoneri scraped a dramatic last-minute 3-2 victory against Parma, a team low in the standings. In a thrilling game at San Siro this past weekend, Milan managed to overturn a 2-1 deficit in injury time against Parma. However, in the Champions League face-off against Dinamo Zagreb, Walker could only witness Milan’s struggles as they succumbed 2-1 with ten men on the field.
Despite a trophy-laden tenure at Manchester City, where he clinched six Premier League titles and a Champions League victory, Walker remains optimistic about his move to Milan. “Definitely not,” he responded when asked if he was reconsidering his decision, adding, “It’s football. Things happen, but the main thing is we got the victory we wanted and needed, which is a forward step.”
Anticipation builds for Walker’s possible debut in a high-stakes Milan derby against Inter Milan this Sunday. His new club, AC Milan, looks to build on their morale-boosting fifteenth win in the league as they face fierce rivals. Defending champions Inter sit second in Serie A, aiming to close the gap on leaders Napoli, with AC Milan having won both of their previous derby encounters this season, including a victory in the Super Cup final.
Walker moved from City seeking more playing opportunities and the challenge of abroad, and his competitive debut could be a baptism of fire in one of Italy’s fiercest rivalries.
