DBasia.news – After scoring a hat trick in the Champions League, Raheem Sterling won praise from Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand.
Raheem Sterling inspired Manchester City’s victory over Atalanta. The 24-year player packed three of the five goals of The Citizens.
After the match, a lot of praise flowed for the former Liverpool player. One of them was expressed by Ferdinand. According to Ferdinand, Sterling still has room to grow.
“We are at a loss for good words to praise Sterling. He is a young British player who has undergone many matches,” said Ferdinand as BT Sport reported.
“He can still develop and give more in the match. He is an attacker who can stab in certain areas.”
“Now, he is in the top five players in the world. I don’t care about what people think about the effects he has, the goals he created, and the chances of taking him out,” explained Ferdinand.
Furthermore, Ferdinand assessed that the rapidly developing performance of Sterling is inseparable from the role of Pep Guardiola. The manager can make Sterling show the best game.
“Sometimes you benefit from learning from managers. Pep Guardiola comes while Sterling is doing it,” Ferdinand said.
Raheem Sterling began to strengthen Manchester City since leaving Liverpool in July 2015. In this season, Sterling has packed 12 goals plus four assists in 13 matches.
