Walker explains 'nobody here is Messi' comments
Briefly

Kyle Walker, AC Milan's defender, sparked conversation after urging teammate Joao Felix during a match to prioritize teamwork over individual talent, stating, "nobody here is Messi." After Milan's loss to Napoli, he reflected on the need for a cohesive strategy rather than relying solely on star players. Walker acknowledged that only a few, like Messi and Kylian Mbappe, can change a game alone, emphasizing that success stems from a collective effort, not individual brilliance. He highlighted the need for more communication and passing within the team to improve performance.
Walker emphasized the importance of teamwork, stating, 'It wasn't me saying to Joao 'you're not Messi, pass the ball'. It was saying 'let's make sure we have a process'.
He elaborated further, 'The comment I said was nobody is Messi... it's a team game.' He believes that only a few players can change a game single-handedly.
