A conversation with his new manager has given Sterling a new lease of life after a difficult first season at Stamford Bridge
When pushed by his former England coach Gary Neville on what he meant by that, Sterling added: “A lot happens in your career.
“My love for football is too much to at this age 28 kind of fizzle out. I want to make sure that I maintain the standards that I’ve set over the past couple of years and keep going.” Sterling’s ruthless efficiency in a City shirt, particularly between 2017 and 2020 when he scored 18, 17 and 20 league goals respectively over a three-season period, was maybe taken for granted. His tournament consistency for England probably was too; everyone became so used to his brilliance that nobody foresaw the drop-off.
Or maybe amidst the constant chaos that has underpinned the Todd Boehly era, he forgot what made him so effective in the first place. A return of six league goals in 2022-23 marked his lowest tally in seven years.
