Britain's The Sun reported on the 1st (Korea time) 'Walker made a surprising mistake against Slovakia'
England advanced to the quarterfinals by winning 2-1 thanks to Jude Bellingham's equalizer and Harry Kane's come-from-behind goal in the Euro 2024 round of 16 against Slovakia at Arena Aufshalke in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, on the 1st.
With the dramatic victory, English players have also become the center of the topic. Among them, Walker surprised fans with a shocking mistake during the game.

Walker failed to maintain his defensive line at all in the process of preventing Slovakia's counterattack during England's first run. He was alone in the centre of the box, well behind the line where Mark Geghi and John Stones were located, and because of Walker's position, England could not even take the same defensive approach as the offside trap. Since then, Schranz's score has been scored, so if he failed to turn the game around, Walker's positioning mistake could have pushed England into elimination.
What's more surprising about this mistake is that his team is Manchester City. Pep Guardiola, who leads Manchester City, has been caught pointing out the positions of players during the game because positioning is important in tactics. Fans were shocked because the player who played in such a meticulous and sophisticated system made a shocking defensive positioning mistake.
Fans shared the footage of the mistake on social media, saying "Please tell me Photoshop.", "I thought it was Photoshop.", "Walker acted as a fake goalkeeper," he said, pointing out that this mistake was surprising enough to mistake it for Photoshop.
