Kyle Walker's declining performance was a natural step.
British Sports Bible quoted a report by the British Daily Mail on the 17th (Korea Standard Time) as saying how Walker's performance declined.
The biggest problem is divorce proceedings. Even if you are a professional player, you are inevitably a person. If personal history is unstable, of course, the performance will be disrupted.
Walker is currently filing for divorce. The reason is because of infidelity. When the world was suffering from COVID-19 in 2020, Walker was internally disciplined by the club for throwing a promiscuous party with two women, even though he had a girlfriend.
Annie Kilner, who was a girlfriend at the time and is now Walker's wife, forgave Walker. Eventually, the two became husband and wife in 2022, and so far, they have four children.
However, Walker shocked the world when it was revealed that he had an affair and a child out of wedlock that he had been secretly dating since 2020. There were only two out-of-wedlock children. Walker admitted to the affair and publicly apologized. At the time, Walker said "My wife is an amazing woman and I apologise for the anger I have caused her. She's a part of my life and will never change for our children," he said, asking for forgiveness.
Annie no longer forgave Walker after making multiple mistakes. Walker has been kicked out of the house and lives alone. Walker is an annual salary of 9 million pounds (about 16.4 billion won) and is known to live alone in an apartment provided by the club.
Walker belatedly tried to protect his family, but Annie decided to divorce him. Sports Bible explained that "Annie, Walker's wife and mother of four, filed for divorce in October and is reportedly seeking half of her 27 million pounds (W49.2 billion) fortune." Walker's performance began to deteriorate when he was divorced, losing his children and losing half of his fortune.
The media outlet then said that the celebrity Walker, who was twice named Man City captain by his team-mates, had become quiet and reserved around the club's City Football Academy training complex"Walker said he became timid even with his personality.
Walker, who is suffering from privacy problems, continues to play despite his poor performance because there are too many injuries in Manchester City's defense. Walker is also known to have been playing for more than a month with injuries. Walker, who originally had an advantage in athletic ability and speed, seems to have caused problems in defense recently.
From Walker's point of view, he probably doesn't want to play, but he continues to play because the team is also difficult. It's the sudden downfall of Walker, who was a world class fullback.
