Keane: Walker relies too much on speed on the pitch, he's always not focused enough

Recently, Manchester United star Roy Keane criticized Manchester City defender Kyle Walker in an interview, believing that Walker was too dependent on his own speed when defending, and the City right-back was always not focused enough on the field.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Keane said: "I've been criticizing Walker in the past, he always makes a lot of mistakes, he's always relying on his own pace to get out of trouble, but he also has a good career at the moment. Walker's speed advantage has helped him get out of a lot of trouble, but I believe that he has a lot of things he can do if he improves his concentration, and now he will always make a lot of mistakes. ”

Another commentator, Carragher, said: "I think what Keane is talking about is that Walker's defensive coverage is not efficient, in fact, there are many times Walker who is very smart, and sometimes when the team attacks, he will fall back to the center-back position. ”

"Keane may think that because Walker is too good in physical fitness, he believes too much in his speed so much that he will not be able to concentrate at times, but Walker's speed does often get him out of trouble."

"But I still like Walker, I think he's a great player and england's main right-back. Manchester City and Guardiola can buy any right-back in the world, they brought in Cancelo but still let Walker play in every game. When you think about having a player on your team who is so fast, you should also realize that he can often help the team out of trouble. ”

Keane also seemed to acknowledge that Carragher's point was justified, but said he was annoyed that the defenders were not concentrating. Keane said: "I'm very picky about defender players, especially when it comes to dealing with problems with my brain, and the lack of concentration of defenders on the field is a problem that annoys me very much. But Walker is also a big player for Manchester City and England, so the kid is doing a good job in some ways. ”
