00:00Kyle Walker, why was he not in the squad?

00:05Well, it's not easy for me to say because I should say him, but he's not here.

00:10So two days ago, Kyle had to explore the options to play aboard at the end of his career.

00:17He asked two years ago after travel. Bayern Munich, I think, wanted him, but the offer was not good enough.

00:23And I asked him, the club asked him how important it is.

00:26We cannot understand the success that we had these years without Kyle.

00:30It's impossible.

00:32Having our right back and give us something that we didn't have and have been amazing.

00:39But now in his mind, he would like to explore already, to go another country, to play the last years for many reasons.

00:48And for that reason, I preferred, you know, playing other players.

00:53Like his mind is here.

00:55That's all.
