AC Milan fans were impressed after England international Kyle Walker made his debut for the Rossoneri in Sunday night’s 1-1 draw in the Milan derby.
Kyle Walker joined AC Milan on a loan deal with a buy clause from Manchester City.
Walker was handed the debut Sergio Conceicao’s in the Milan derby despite being introduced to the squad last week.
He had to wait until the local derby to make his debut as he awaited his work permit.
The full-back was thrown straight into the starting line-up by his new manager. His task was almost similar to the role he played at City. He was to keep a close eye on Lautaro Martinez while also providing an attacking threat of his own.
After his first appearance at the San Siro, supporters have quickly made up their minds about the 34-year-old.
Up against some tough opposition, Walker delivered an impressive performance.
Playing the full ninety minutes, the defender made four tackles, two clearances, one interception, won four out of six of his ground duels, and was dribbled past only twice.
Going forward, the Englishman completed 92% of his passes, showcasing his capabilities at both ends of the pitch. Although his efforts weren’t enough to secure all three points, Walker’s display left Milan fans impressed with their new signing.
Inter Milan 1-1 AC Milan
