Walker uses Messi to intimidate Felix

Walker's honeymoon at AC Milan appears to have come to an abrupt end. The veteran English defender was left frustrated after the 2-1 defeat to Napoli on March 31, and even had a heated exchange with teammate Felix on the pitch.

As the second half began, he was caught loudly criticizing Felix. He pulled Felix close and said: "Pass the ball, we are not Messi." Walker's short but sarcastic statement immediately went viral on social media.

Felix, after a streak of 10 consecutive matches without scoring, only played 10 more minutes in the second half before being substituted by coach Sergio Conceicao. Meanwhile, Walker also gradually felt the difficulties in his new shirt.

Having had a dream start to Serie A with 3 unbeaten matches, starting consecutively and conceding only 2 goals, Walker was once considered a breath of fresh air for Milan's defense. But things quickly changed. He was taken off the field right after half-time against Verona, then sat on the bench when Milan lost 1-2 to Lazio. In the match against Napoli, Walker was again substituted in the 79th minute, and was given a 4.5 rating by Sempre Milan .

This page commented: "The defense played poorly overall, but Walker made a direct mistake for the second goal when he marked Buongiorno too closely, preventing Lukaku from falling into an offside position even though Milan were pressing high. A big mistake for an experienced player."

AC Milan are currently ninth in Serie A, 20 points behind leaders Inter. The first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter in midweek will be Milan's last chance to salvage a season that is in crisis.
