Injuries are undoubtedly the biggest enemy of players, and in recent years, there have been countless players who have been plagued by injuries and affected the development of their careers, such as Chelsea's Christian Pulisic, Liverpool centre-back Matip, etc. If they are not injured, they will definitely have better performances. The protagonist of this article, Daniel Sturridge, is no exception, and now at just 32 years old, he has become a member of the ABA looking for opportunities.
Daniel Sturridge became famous at a young age and has shown some ability during his time at Manchester City, but he did not have many opportunities at Manchester City, and was bought out by Chelsea for a transfer fee of £3.5 million. At Chelsea, Daniel Sturridge did not get a chance immediately, but was loaned to Bolton Wanderers. In 2010-11, he spent half a season at Bolton, scoring eight goals in 12 games and performing extremely well, which allowed him to retain Chelsea's then-manager Boas. In the first half of the 11-12 season, Daniel Sturridge was given a heavy weight; he was still a winger, his dribbling ability was superior, and he had a certain goal scoring skill; but his playing style was slightly solitary, so he was known as a "lone wolf".
However, after Boas was disbanded in mid-season, Daniel Sturridge's importance to the team was greatly reduced, and he did not play much in Chelsea's way to winning the FA Cup and the Champions League. Benitez didn't improve much after taking over chelsea at the end of 2012 and then joined Liverpool for £12m. At Liverpool, Daniel Sturridge was put in the centre forward position, making his problem of eating alone a success. In his first quarter and a half, he scored 35 goals in 49 appearances for Liverpool, led the 2013–14 Premier League title and became the Premier League Silver Boot winner, but Liverpool lost the title due to consecutive points losses at the end of the season.
However, Daniel Sturridge was plagued by injuries and only played 20 games in the Premier League in the next five seasons, his goal rate is good, but it is difficult to maintain the form, and his position is slowly taken away by Roberto Firmino, Salah, Mane and other rising stars. In the 2019-20 season, Daniel Sturridge has left the mainstream of European competition and transferred to Trabzon Sports in the Turkish Super League, but he was banned by FIFA because of db problems, and has not left home since then, until the Australian club Perth gloriously beckoned to him. In fact, with the age of Daniel Sturridge (32 years old), it is really not the age to stay away from the European arena, when Cristiano Ronaldo can still score goals in the Premier League and the Champions League, Daniel Sturridge has become a member of the Australian professional game life. I hope he can really leave the injury this time and enjoy football in Australia.
