Wright-Phillips: Sterling deserves respect, he's setting his own record

Recently, former Manchester City player Wright Phillips was interviewed by Manchester City's official website, in which he talked about Sterling and said that Sterling is expected to become another milestone player for Manchester City after Aguero.

Sterling, who just turned 27 this month, has made 442 appearances in his career and has contributed 143 goals, an average of 1 in every 3 games. During his six and a half years with Manchester City, he made 313 appearances for the team and contributed 120 goals.

Wright Phillips said Sterling was expected to become the second player to score 200 goals for City after Aguero. Wright Phillips said: "Being able to score that number of Premier League goals like Sterling is already a huge achievement. If he can continue to be in such a state and continue to score goals, then he will have a good chance of breaking through the 200 goal mark. He has shown great ability and he can start to set his own record. He's a player I love, he scores both inside and outside the box and he's a good penalty shootout. As a winger, he is very well-rounded. ”

Similarly, another former Manchester City player, Sean Gort, expressed his admiration for Sterling, saying: "I've always had a high opinion of Sterling. Similarly, Sterling's outstanding performance confirms that Guardiola is right. He once told Sterling that he wanted to be as far away as possible, even though he was a winger, so last season he scored about nine goals from far point. He likes to cut in on the wing and is able to grasp the timing very well and grasp the opportunities. When there are players who can pass the ball for him in the penalty area, his scoring efficiency is very impressive. ”

In his last 8 games, Sterling has scored five goals. Wright-Phillips said he believes Sterling has now returned to his best, although he did not perform as well as he did in the earlier league.

Wright-Phillips said: "When you go through a low point, everyone will say something to you and try to bring you down. Sterling was a respectable player, not only for his performance on the pitch, but also for everything he did off the pitch. After going through the ups and downs, he still loves football and loves to help others, which is a rare thing. I always tell my kids that Sterling is a respectable role model. ”
