'We are not Messi': Walker's blunt message to Felix during Milan defeat
A heated exchange between Kyle Walker and Joao Felix has highlighted the growing frustration within the AC Milan camp, following a disappointing performance against Napoli.
Kyle Walker engaged in a heated confrontation with AC Milan teammate Joao Felix during their recent match against Napoli. The incident occurred as Milan trailed 2-0 at half-time, reflecting a night of mounting frustration for the loan club.
Walker was observed expressing his dissatisfaction with Felix's reluctance to pass the ball. As the players returned to the pitch for the second half, Walker's words were clearly audible. He claimed to Felix, "Pass the ball, we are not Messi. No one here is Lionel Messi".
This outburst from the England international underscores the mounting pressure on AC Milan, who have struggled to find consistency this season.
Felix, who has faced criticism for his performances since joining Milan on loan, played just 10 minutes of the second half before being substituted by manager Sergio Conceicao.
The defeat to Napoli marked another disappointing result for AC Milan, who have now won just 13 of their 30 Serie A matches this season.
