Kyle Walker: "Footballers don't get tired"

Burnley defender Kyle Walker has dismissed suggestions that modern teams are physically overworked, insisting that the adrenaline rush of competition outweighs fatigue and that fatigue is no excuse for poor results.

"Footballers don't get tired. I hear a lot about players getting overtired... I think you get tired mentally, but not physically. I think you go into automatic mode and if your mind tells your legs you can run, you can run. You're representing your country in a major tournament. Any boy or girl would dream of that," Walker was quoted as saying by Goal.
