Raheem Sterling Speaks about Former Club Liverpool

Raheem Sterling in a recent interview to BBC stated that Liverpool has offered a new contract of £100,000. Even after the controversy during the 2015 transfer window, the new offer shows Reds are interested in taking him back. The Englishman is expected to be a key figure at the upcoming 2022 World Cup.
The 25-year-old is not concerned with the money but for the trophies. In his time with City, he has won three League cups and a couple of both Premier League and FA cups.

Raheem Sterling Speaks about Former Club Liverpool

One of Sterling’s representative said to the French daily L’Equipe: “Even if Raheem is attached to Manchester City, he hasn’t forgotten Liverpool, because that’s where he became who he is as a man and as a player. Of course, there was controversy surrounding his exit, but since then, time has run its course and everything is possible.”
The winger made his debut in Liverpool under the leadership of Kenny Dalglish in March 2012. But it was his time with Brendan Rodgers which shaped his football career.

Paul Merson insists Dele Alli should not play versus Panama

Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has urged England manager Gareth Southgate to resist playing Dele Alli against Panama. The Three Lions midfielder is already said to be carrying a groin strain from the 2-1 win over Tunisia and Merson believes the 22-year-old should not be risked against a side whoare likely to defence for most periods of the game.

He told Sky Sports News: “I probably wouldn’t have played Dele Alli in that [Tunisia] game and I wouldn’t have been fussed about playing him against Panama. Dele Alli needs to be playing in games where the other teams are going to have a go at us and there’s grass on the other side. He’s very good without the ball and makes good runs, but there’s got to be space. In the first two games there will be 10 behind the ball, but against Belgium and in the knockout stages I think Dele Alli will be a better player.”

The Three Lions witnessed Belgium record a comfortable 3-0 win over Panama during their World Cup opener and based on this, they should enjoy the vast advantage over the North American outfit. As such, there have been calls for a couple of offensive changes and Marcus Rashford and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are among the candidates who could come into the mix.

Loftus-Cheek will most certainly take up a central midfield role under Southgate whilst Rashford could slot into one of the wider positions. Both Jesse Lingard and Raheem Sterling were guilty of failing to convert goalscoring opportunities against Tunisia but the latter could be the one dropped after losing possession of the ball more regularly than his compatriot.

Sterling has come off a strong season with Manchester City but his international record, however, is not brilliant with no goals scored since October 2015. During this period, Rashford has found better success with three goals contributed in 20 appearances.
