C.Ronaldo, Messi Has Only One Player In There Bracket, Says Kyle Walker

KYLE WALKER,C. RONALDO AND LIONEL MESSI

An English professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Premier League club Manchester City and the England national team, Kyle Walker, has said that there is just one player ‘in the same bracket’ as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi

Walker who was in an interview on a TV show, said that he believes that ‘De Bruyne’ is the only player who is in the bracket with the two GOATS.

According to him, I think there’s only certain players, the likes of Messi and Ronaldo, that you can say are in the same bracket as Kevin – Kevin goes into that bracket for me.

Recalled that De Bruyne, returned from a long-term hamstring injury on Saturday evening to inspire City to a 3-2 win over Newcastle United.

De Bruyne who was selected in the FIFPro Team of the Year for a fourth consecutive year was heaped praised by Walker.

He said “When he came on against Newcastle, you could feel that push, you could feel that energy and that excitement. He gives you a lift and Kevin is at his best when he’s on the ball playing passes that you don’t think are even visible to play.”

However, when he was asked about his connection with fellow defenders Dias and Stones, Walker replied: “We built a real connection last season, whether it was me or John playing at right back, or Ruben, who was a big part of that.

“He commands a lot of the defence, which probably goes unnoticed, and he deserves a lot of credit.”
