Manchester City’s Kyle Walker has opened up about his private life. In a recent interview, Walker apologized to his family for ‘idiot choices and idiot decisions’ following weeks of belief about his love life.
Walker admits that his personal offenses have dealt a far greater blow than any tackle or missed goal. In a raw revelation, he discloses that upon learning of the pregnancy, the media pressure became a suffocating blanket. Seeking refuge, he reportedly lined up a £15 million escape hatch to Bayern Munich.
“I am a private man, but I accept that I am a public figure and I need to address what I’ve done,” Walker told The Sun.
“It hasn’t helped that it has been played out in the media. But I’ve chosen to speak now in the hope that I can at least explain myself and enable my wife and children to have the privacy they so desperately need and deserve.”
“How could I hurt someone I love so much? That’s something I need to find in myself.” Man City star told The Sun.
“I need to find out why I have done this and why situations have occurred. I am human and I’ve made mistakes on and off the field.”
“The ones off the field are definitely more damaging and have been more hurtful to me.“
“Football has been my life since I was six, but my family comes before anything on this planet. At the moment, they’re hurting enormously.”
“I tried to escape,” Walker confesses, his words laced with the painful sarcasm of seeking comfort by running away.
Leaving City, the club he calls “the best in the world,” wasn’t the goal.
