Kyle Walker’s honeymoon period at AC Milan is over and the frustrations of Man City of the city of the man was right in the 2-1 defeat of Napoli in Napoli.
The 34 -year -old man struck the ground in Italy with three departures, four and a half hours of football and three undefeated games for AC Milan, during which he conceded twice.
Its performance – and the results of Milan – have since dropped since. Walker was removed at halftime against Verona and was deposited on the bench for the next Serie A match, a 2-1 defeat against Lazio.
In his last match, against Napoli by Antonio Conte, he was again hung (in the 79th minute) and received a note of 4.5 by Semper Milan.
They wrote on his performance: “ The whole defense was bad, but he was certainly at fault on the second goal, after (Alessandro) Buongiorno in Buongiorno’s race – playing (Romelu) Lukaku on the V side despite the fact that Milan had a high line at the time. A big mistake for a player with his experience. He had a few decent races forward, but could not do the crosses.
Milan found himself 2-0 at halftime, thanks to the strikes of Matteo Politano and Lukaku. While the players emerged from the tunnel, Walker was caught on the camera, giving a dressing to teammate Joao Felix.

Felix also joined Milan on loan in January – from Chelsea – and marked at his beginnings, but the attacker failed to find the bottom of the net in 10 appearances since.
And Walker suggested that the Portuguese exaggerated things when he said “going on the ball, we are not Messi”.
Felix only played 10 minutes from the second half before it was removed by manager Sergio Conceicao.
Milan, seven times European champions, sits well with the rhythm of Serie A where they are ninth and 20 massive points of the League leaders and Inter.
They will face their city rivals in the semi-finals of Coppa Italia on Wednesday in what will be a chance for the Rossoneri, Walker and Felix to put their season on the right track.
