City didn't bring in many signings this summer, signing England attacker Jack Grealish from Aston Villa for £100 million, but the addition of the former Aston Villa captain shook to the inevitable position of Raheem Sterling, the former Blue Moon mains, who played only once this season for 90 minutes in the league.
The 26-year-old Raheem Sterling has been playing an important role in the squad since joining Manchester City; whether the manager is Pellegrini or Guardiola, Raheem Sterling is the main attacking force or core of the Blue Moon. The England international has made 302 appearances for the Blue Moon, with 115 goals and 88 assists, and the statistics are very bright. Raheem Sterling's breakthrough skills are superb, and under guardiola's tutelage, he has excellent walking ability, always able to walk some unexpected blind spots, and can easily get the chance to break the goal.
However, his strengths and weaknesses are obvious, under the breakthrough technology, his overall view is very general, often disregarding the position of his teammates and rampage, indirectly becoming the team's offensive black hole. While he has the ability to walk in excellent positions, his grasp is extremely poor, and there are repeated situations of "walking to the feet but not scoring the ball", a bit like Chelsea's Timo Werner.
So Guardiola decided in the summer to bring in Jack Grelich, who was also looking for opportunities on the left, with the obvious intention of using him to directly remove Raheem Sterling. Jack Grarysh has indeed delivered a good level after joining, at least his breakthrough technology and big picture view are directly proportional, and he can also share the organizational work of Kevin De Bruyne, becoming the second core of the team, and also has a good tacit understanding with england national team teammate Phil Foden.
Under this, Raheem Sterling has gradually lost his former position as an absolute main player, although he has been able to play in seven league games, but only against Tottenham and Southampton, and it just so happens that the Blue Moon has not won both games, and Raheem Sterling's personal performance is also unremarkable. In the brave state of Jack Grellish and Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling has difficulty regaining his former position, and perhaps leaving the team will be the best choice for him. At present, the emerging giants Newcastle United are in the stage of thirst for talent, and the Magpies may be a good place for him to stay.
