Kyle Walker, Manchester City’s right-back, has admitt that he used to hate playing football with his father because he was always criticize or discourage, whether he played well or badly. However, it became a great motivation from within him to stand up in the industry to prove his father wrong.

Walker won a trophy with the Citizens but had spells at Sheffield United, Spurs and loan spells at QPR, Aston Villa and Northampton earlier in his career. 

The thing that has always bothered the 34-year-old player is his father, Michael, who only scolds him and never gives him constructive encouragement. 

If it were anyone else, they might have turned their backs on football already. But not him, because he used his resentment from being scold by his father to use it as his strength to prove himself. 

“I used to hate going out to play football with you,” he told the ‘You Will Never Beat Kyle Walker’ podcast.

“It doesn’t matter whether I played well or badly that day, I would always cry when I got in the car because he always said that I did the wrong thing, that I couldn’t do it like this.” 

“Your criticism is not to hurt me, but to oppress me.” 

“Sometimes being train in the car is so awkward that my mom would tell me, ‘Michael, stop being so picky with you. You played well today.’” 

“I remember one time I scored 3 goals in one game, but my father kept saying, ‘That’s not enough, you should have scored 6 goals.’ Then, when I was a professional player, when I got older, my father changed his mind. He said, ‘You played well, son.’” 

“After two or three years with City Promotion Ufabet, I think he can let go completely.”  

Walker has won six Premier League titles , two FA Cups , four League Cups ,  one Champions League and one FIFA Club World Cup while captaining the Citizens .
