Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has stated that the club wants to dominate English football for the years to come. Walker said, “Obviously, he’s [Pep] not striving for [just] one title and we’re not as well – we want more. I don’t want to sound big headed, but we want to dominate English football. I think we’ve got the players here, and we’ve definitely got the manager, to do that, so we need to keep listening.
Every day is a learning day and you can always adjust to different tactics, adjust to different formations and that’s something we need to take on collectively as a group – that’s manager and players – to make sure that we can dominate the English game.”
The 28-year old added, “I’ve not just signed here to pick up my first Premier League title and then say ‘OK, I’ll rest on that’. I’m hungry for a lot more. There’s a lot of challengers, there are a lot of good teams in the Premier League. Even, you look at Everton now, who have spent a lot of money in the transfer window, they’re going to be tough competitors.
We just see the Premier League is full of surprises. Leicester did it so why can’t anyone else do it? We’ll just have to see.”
Walker also had praise for young teammate Phil Foden. He believes that Foden will soon be a regular for both club and country. Walker said, “Obviously, Phil has been very fortunate in his first season around the squad to pick up a Premier League medal. Not many kids can say that they’ve done that. But he’s not rested on that. He could have come back from the summer, not really trained hard, gone and partied or whatever – which young kids do nowadays but he’s not done that.
He’s been working hard – you can see he’s been working hard, he was even out on Russia so that’s how much he loves the game of football. I saw a few Instagram posts of him when he was with [Ryan] Sessegnon and I think that just shows his enthusiasm for the game and it’s great to see.”
The reigning Premier League champions resume their Premier League campaign against Huddersfield Town on Sunday.
