‘He’s unbelievable’ – Kyle Walker ‘doesn’t need tips’ ahead of Kylian Mbappe battle in World Cup quarter-final between England and France, says Matty Cash


Matty Cash has hailed Kyle Walker ahead of his battle with Kylian Mbappe when England and France clash in their World Cup quarter-final.

And the Poland and Aston Villa right-back, who faced Mbappe and Lionel Messi at Qatar 20222, doesn’t think his Premier League rival needs any advice about facing the tournament’s top goalscorer.

The full-back went head-to-head with the deadly French forward in Poland’s last-16 tie which saw Mbappe score twice in Les Bleus’ 3-1 victory – leaving Cash saying the star ‘burned his legs’.

But he reckons the Three Lions may have the perfect solution to the problem Mbappe will cause them.

“I think when you look at England you’ve got Kyle Walker who will probably play there,” he told talkSPORT. “To be honest when you look at Kyle Walker he’s probably the best right-back around.

“You’ve got Trent [Alexander-Arnold] and Reece [James] who are fantastic on the ball and can do everything going forward. But if you look at Kyle Walker’s attributes in terms of defending, he is an unbelievable one-on-one defender.

“He’s probably just as quick as Mbappe. That’ll be a very good battle which I’m really looking forward to watching actually.

“As I say, though, I don’t need to really give Kyle Walker any tips. He’s played against him many times and he’ll know what to do.

“So, as I said, I’m looking forward to watching that battle.”

The Man City right-back will be confident going into the crunch clash, having faced the Paris Saint-Germain ace four times in the Champions League.

In those fixtures, Walker was on the winning side three times, losing just once.

The full-back’s England teammate, midfielder James Maddison, also told talkSPORT that Walker is the man that can snuff out Mbappe’s threat.

“He’s one of the best full-backs in the world,” the Leicester City playmaker said. “I think if anyone can do a job, I think it’s him.”

England’s clash against France is set for Saturday at 7pm, which you can listen to live on talkSPORT.

FIRST DATES  James Maddison jokes Ally McCoist would be RIGHT to let Jude Bellingham date his daughters and keep his granny away from Jack Grealish – but Bukayo Saka would be best son-in-law out of England stars England star James Maddison has responded to Ally McCoist’s hilarious claim that he would let Jude Bellingham date his daughter,s but not let Jack Grealish near his granny. Rangers legend McCoist, who has five son, told talkSPORT on Monday that if he had five daughters instead, they could all go out with Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfielder has  caught the eye  with his maturity on and off the pitch while starring for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Grealish, on the other hand, is a self-confessed cheeky chappy and  recently admitted  he has a habit of doing ‘stupid’ things. McCoist said: “I just think he’s [Bellingham] unbelievable. I’ve got five boys in the house but if I had five daughters I’d probably let him take them all out at the same ...

SUPPORT   Harry Kane gets brilliant reception from Tottenham fans at Boxing Day clash with Brentford after World Cup penalty miss Tottenham fans loudly showed their support for Harry Kane following his missed penalty for England in Qatar . The 29-year-old was thrown straight back into Antonio Conte’s starting XI for  Spurs’ Boxing Day clash away at Brentford . Kane has been subject to harsh criticism after he blazed over his spot-kick against France in the Three Lions’ World Cup quarter-final defeat. He had equalised against Les Bleus from the spot, but with his second attempt late into the match, he spurned a key chance to level the game up at 2-2. It led some fans to question why he was even on penalty duty, despite his stunning record from 12 yards out having missed three out of his 20 penalties for England prior to his France miss. But the Spurs supporters in attendance at the Gtech Community Stadium were fully behind their talismanic striker. They sang in unison, ‘Harry K...
