Kyle Walker: Embracing New Challenges at AC Milan
In a recent interview, English defender Kyle Walker shared his thoughts on joining AC Milan. “It’s an incredible opportunity,” Walker stated. “I’ve been a Milan fan since childhood, and wearing these colors fills me with pride. I’m hoping for a successful second half of the season.”
Walker revealed that he consulted with Tammy Abraham before making the move. “I asked him about the city and what it’s like to play for Milan,” he explained. “From the outside, you can tell it’s a prestigious club that has housed legendary players like Kaká, Ronaldinho, Beckham, and Maldini – all of whom have inspired me. Now, I’m here too. Abraham encouraged me to come, which influenced my decision.”
Discussing his fitness regimen, Walker emphasized the importance of going beyond natural abilities in modern football. “I believe in enhancing my genetic gifts through gym work to become stronger, faster, and more effective,” he said. “While I’m grateful for the traits I inherited from my parents, I always strive to improve. I’m still hungry for success and want to extend my football career as long as possible.”
Walker also shared an interesting pre-game ritual inspired by his childhood love for wrestling. “I emulate Triple H, my favorite wrestler,” he revealed. “Stepping onto the football pitch feels like entering a wrestling ring. It’s a good luck ritual I’ve maintained since I was young.”
