Sterling’s Superiority According to Guardiola

DBasia.news – Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola gave a comment on Raheem Sterling’s performance during the beginning 2018-2019 season. Guardiola assumed the player’s body also played a role for the flexibility on the pitch.

Manchester City went in a convincing step after defeating Arsenal 2-0 during the first-week match of the 2018-2019 Premier League at Emirates Stadium, Sunday (13/8). Raheem Sterling scored the opening goal for The Citizens at 14′.

The impressive performance silenced the critics on Sterling since the 2018 World Cup. At that time, the player rumored failed to be the bomber of The Three Lions hence no goal.

“People only judge players on the goals they score at the World Cup, but Raheem has this special relationship with English football, he’s so loved in the locker room,” Guardiola said reported by Manchester Evening News.

“He did some very good things in the World Cup, moving well and creating space for others. He’d like to have scored a goal and he tried to, but I’m sure in the European qualifiers he will score goals for his country.”

Guardiola assumed, one of the qualities of the player is his lean body. Thus, the former Liverpool player could move fast.

“His mum and dad gave him a special body shape: he’s small, tiny, so these kinds of guys in one week are ready,” Guardiola insisted.

“He trained just one week but we needed him today, and he did so well except when he was very tired at the end.”
