We are not Messi — Kyle Walker slams Chelsea star for dribbling too much

Former Manchester City defender Kyle Walker referred to Lionel Messi while advising Joao Felix to reduce his ball-hogging.

The 25-year-old Felix joined the Rossoneri in January on a loan move. While he had a brilliant first couple of games, he has largely struggled at the club.

The 34-year-old England international is in a similar situation as Felix; he was signed on loan with an option to buy until the end of the season. 

Despite signing both players, amongst others, the Rossoneri’ have not fared better. They are currently 9th on the log, a whopping 20 points behind league leader and neighbour, Inter.

The margin opened to 20 following a 2-1 defeat to Napoli last week, a game in which Felix struggled. A clip from the game is now making the rounds on the internet showing Walker reprimanding the Portuguese for hoarding possession. 

“Just pass the ball,” Walker told Felix. “We are not Messi. No one is Messi here. Pass the ball.”

Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano reported that Milan have already decided not to sign the former Atletico Madrid star permanently. Per the report, they have pondered over it since the start of March and decided after the defeat to Napoli.
