Sterling: The next goal is to score 200 goals in the Premier League

Live bar December 18 News Last weekend, Manchester City beat Wolves 1-0, scoring the winning penalty Sterling also completed his 100th Premier League goal. A few days ago, he was interviewed by Sky Sports and reviewed his career and how he grew to today's height.

Sterling, 27, became the 32nd and 8th youngest player to complete the "Premier League 100-ball club" milestone. He said that after being proud of this achievement, he will continue to aim more — as he has always done in his career.

He said: "It's incredible. As a child, I always told myself that I wanted to be a professional footballer. Against Wigan Athletic, I played in the Premier League for the first time and that achieved my first goal. From there, you can aim for the next goal, say, to score the first goal. And after that is achieved, you will always have more goals to achieve. ”

"To get into the 'Premier League 100-ball club', I think it's an incredible achievement, but I'm only 27 now and there's still a lot to do. I'm really happy. When you're a kid, you never know if you're going to succeed. One of my biggest dreams is to become a footballer and say, 'I made my debut.' Suffice it to say, I'm doing a great job and I'm really proud of myself. I am eager to continue to improve. ”

"I'm always looking for the next target. I've been like this since I was a kid, always setting goals for myself; once I've achieved them, I've continued to set another goal. Here's what we can do: What are our goals ahead? How do we achieve this next goal? The highlight of my (career) is undoubtedly winning the Premier League title for the first time. It was an important moment in my life and career. There are dreams and there are realities, so it's really good to get the championship trophy. ”

"I look forward to what can be done in the coming years. I want to make sure I keep that level. I've reached the Premier League 100 now and everything is going well, but I want to keep working hard, do more and win. What's next? Get as close as possible to the Premier League 200 goals! Every season, I have to score at least 18-20 goals in the league, which is a constant effort. If you can score double-digit goals in many seasons, you have a chance to reach the goal of 200 goals. ”

Despite achieving a 100-goal goal in the Premier League, Sterling admits that in the beginning, "scoring" was not always his biggest goal. He said: "When I was a young player, I was very good at scoring, but that wasn't the thing I was most obsessed with. I'm obsessed with taking the ball, breaking through with the ball. That's what I did when I was growing up in London and it's something I enjoyed so much. That makes me very proud. After training, I don't stay on the training ground and practice shooting because that's not what I want to do on matchday. What I wanted was to beat the guy who was defending me and make him look silly. Around the time of the 2017-18 season, I started training hard, trying to do more 'extra homework', and trying to get better. ”

"When you're in the first team at 17, you can perform well, it's all because of your age (small) and so you're talked about. But then, people will expect something from you. They expect you to help the team win the game, get an assist or score a goal. When I started to be questioned, I thought: 'I really want to kick here.' It's about repetition and your own mindset. If the game goes on a Saturday and from Monday you tell yourself every day ' you're going to score a goal', chances are you're actually going to score! ”

'I've always known that as a player, I can score goals in my position, so I know that if I can concentrate and let my mindset enjoy scoring goals, I can do it.'
