How long have you not heard from Daniel Sturridge? Do you think the former Liverpool top scorer has said goodbye to the pitch?
The 32-year-old Sturridge did not retire, and after a year and a half without the ball to play, Sturridge finally found his next home today, and Perth Glorious from the Australian Premier League officially announced that Sturridge joined, and the two sides signed for one season.
After signing, Sturridge said: "Joining Glory Perth is a fantastic opportunity to meet the challenge. I will bring my talent to a league where I can enjoy football and I will give my all to help the team succeed. ”
Born in 1989, Sturridge joined Chelsea in 2009 and has contributed 24 goals and 9 assists in 96 games for the Blues, winning 1 Champions League, 1 Premier League, 2 FA Cups and 1 Community Shield.
In January 2013, Sturridge moved to Liverpool for 15 million euros, and Stuart had a stunning start at Liverpool, with Sturridge scoring 11 goals and five assists in 16 appearances in the second half of the 2012-13 season, averaging 1 goal per game.
In the 2013-14 season, the 3S combination of Sturridge Suarez Stirling once allowed Rodgers' Reds to approach the Premier League championship indefinitely, of which Su Ya shot 31 goals in 33 league games, and Situ scored 21 goals in 29 games, the two were the Premier League Golden Boot and Silver Boot that season, but unfortunately Liverpool fell short on the road to the championship and eventually won the runner-up.
At this time, Sturridge is an outstanding representative of the local shooters of the Premier League, with explosive physical fitness, single soldier blasting at will, impeccable shooting, healthy Sturridge is definitely the nightmare of all the goalkeepers of the Premier League, and it is also the first generation of "British Emperor Star" in the minds of netizens. At the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016, Sturridge scored for England.
With Su Ya moving to Barca and Sterling joining Manchester City, the 3S combination quickly disintegrated, and Sturridge was also greatly affected by injury-ridden attendance, gradually becoming a red army forward rotation and substitute role. When Firmino (2015), Mane (2016) and Salah (2017) landed at Anfield, Sturridge's appearance picks became more and more behind.
In the summer of 2019, after winning the Champions League with Liverpool, Sturridge left the team on his own. In six seasons with the Reds, Sturridge played in 160 games, averaging less than 30 appearances per season, contributing 68 goals and 26 assists, and winning one Champions League.
In September 2019, Sturridge joined Trabzon Sports, making 16 appearances for the team, contributing 7 goals and 4 assists, and the efficiency is still not low.
However, on 2 March 2020, Sturridge was terminated by Trabzon after playing for less than one year, after being banned by the FA for four months worldwide for violating betting regulations while playing in the Premier League.
After the suspension, Sturridge has not found a home, and although he tried out in Mallorca in La Liga this summer, he was unable to get a contract. It was not until the Australian Premier League Perth gloriously threw an olive branch that Sturridge said goodbye to unemployment.
The peak period was short, but Sturridge still left a lot of wonderful goals, as well as a unique robot dance to celebrate. Good luck to the original "British Emperor Star" in the new owner!
