“I mean, Adama Traore would beat me, comfortably, I would say.” Walker told the BBC’s You’ll Never Beat Kyle Walker podcast.
“I just thought I had the pace. I thought I could handle him. That’s no excuse. He beat me fair and square but I’ll remember it. My arms should be out but you know when you start running back (towards the goal) nine times out of 10 people stop. But he dropped back so deep. As I did, he thought, ‘I can handle him’.”
“And the next minute he was right in front of me and I should have put my arm out to try and grab him. He’s got so much strength, from what I’ve seen he can be at that level. (Mickey) van de Ven is so quick, he’s 6ft 7in and his pace is unbelievable.”
“It’s not been the worst in 18 years, the first time someone could really say that was probably (Ousmane) Dembele. I remember when I played against him in the France game away. I sprinted towards him and he ran the other way and everyone was like ‘Oh my God, Kyle Walker’s got a wreck’.
“But it’s not a bad reaction for them to be surprised because obviously I’m doing something right.”
