Kyle Walker defended her animated explosion against his AC Milan teammate Joao Felix.
The 34-year-old English international made the headlines after being seen by giving Chelsea Flix Felix one dressing at halftime while Milan followed 2-0 in Napoli last month.
Walker told Felix to “pass the ball”, adding that “we are not messi” while the Milan players got out of the locker room for the second half.
Felix was substituted barely 10 minutes later while Milan lost 2-1 against the second side.
Walker doubled his comments, saying that he would not have “changed everything I said”, adding that Felix agreed with him.
“It was not me saying to Joao” you’re not messi, pass the ball “It said” make sure we have a process. “He agreed with me and said we have to have more passes and a little more control,” he told BBC’s Podcast Kyle Walker.

Walker doubled his comments, saying that he would haven’t changed anything
Kyle Walker, who made 95 appearances for England, joined AC Milan on loan in January
“I didn’t just say it to Joao. I didn’t know there was a camera there. But I still wouldn’t have changed anything I said.
Walker, who joined AC Milan on loan in January after a seven and a half year stay in Manchester City, added: “The comment I said was that no one is Messi.
“It is in all the world bar teams, some people who can turn a game at its head when they wish.
“I give them their applause – it’s Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Mo Salah and Ousmane Dembele, who has been on fire since the start of the year.
“Apart from that, you say it’s a team game.”
Walker struck the ground in Italy with three undefeated results from its first three departures.
He presented 12 times in all the competitions for the Rossoneri, but is currently sidelined after having undergone surgery on a fractured elbow.
His transfer came with a purchase option and Milan hopes that it will take costs of only 1.7 million pounds sterling to guarantee his services permanently.
Milan endured a disappointing league campaign under the Portuguese boss Sergio Conceicao.

AC Milan obtained its place in the final of Copa Italia with a 3-0 victory against Inter last night
They occupied ninth place, 20 points behind their rivals and the leaders, Inter Milan and collapsed from the Champions League to the Dutch team Feyenoords in February.
However, they obtained their place in the final of Copa Italia with a 3-0 victory against Inter last night.
Felix, who also joined Milan on loan in January, has not yet scored in ten league games.
Meanwhile, Walker was full of praise for his teammate Rafael Leao.
The former Spurs defender said: “What I said to Joao is Leo is fantastic. One of the players you can give him the ball and he can pass three, four, five players and put it in the upper tank.
“In (Manchester) City, most of our joy in recent years came from a process. Everything was the work process where you were on the ground. It was with passes.
“If you have a player like Messi, he can face four players and put him back on the net. It makes the game so much easier.
“But against the good level opposition like Napoli, I think you need a process of passing the ball and carrying them. Then the gaps appear. It was the conversation with Joao.
