England defender Walker gave an insight into his boss’s methods in a recent interview.He said: I dont want to go too much into detail on his team talks but sometimes it is emotional because he puts everything into it.He remembers everything. He dedicates certain games to certain players. We go through it alltogether.He puts his all into every single game – his speeches, his emotions they are touching sometimes.GETTY3

Manchester City secured back-to-back Premier League titles with a 4-1 win at Brighton on Sunday

But what hes said before pretty much all games is that the key thing is to never give up.An example Walker used was when midfield maestro David Silvas baby was born very prematurely – but then won his battle.He added: When David was going through the certain things that he went through last season it was emotional for us all.We are one family here and what David was suffering we were suffering as well.
