Pep Guardiola praised for improving Manchester City defender after transfer

Kyle Walker has credited Pep Guardiola for the way he has changed his game since his arrival at Etihad. The defender, who has joined the Citizens from Tottenham for a £50m back in 2017, believes the tactical education he has had at Guardiola's team has made him a better defender. "I think it is just maturity and my understanding of the game. It helps with the manager I have got massively, with his knowledge and how he likes to see the game," he said. "I think I said before I went out to the World Cup, If I didn’t spend the time I spent at City and had learnt what I learnt, would I have been able to play in a back three? I don’t think I would have. "My job at Tottenham was an attacking full-back where I was bombing up and down as a wing-back. Since coming to City, I have learnt to play in a three, I have learnt to go inside and into midfield, I have played centre back sometimes. "I just think my defensive awareness and my positional sense has really sharpened up. My knowledge of the game as well.”
