He also won the trust of Guardiola. Today, Sterling is already a world-class striker. . But even so, he is still one of the most controversial players in football, because Sterling’s skill attributes are really interesting. If you only look at passing ability and dribbling ability, he is among the top ranks in football. , but for the attribute of shooting, he seems to have forgotten to add skill points. So in the game all kinds of wasted goals are also endless. However, the data will not lie. In the past five years in the Premier League, Sterling has successfully dribbled in the penalty area 82 times, the highest of any team.
Behind Sterling is Liverpool star Salah, the Egyptian pharaoh who has successfully dribbled in the penalty area 74 times. The Egyptian’s technology is also quite counter-attack, and the disguise in a small range is also difficult for any defensive player to guard against. However, although the number of goals is more than that of Sterling, the number of successful dribbles in the penalty area is still worse than that of Sterling.
Behind Salah is Zaha. This thigh shot in the weak team also takes the ball in the penalty area a lot, and he himself likes dribbling very much. Behind Zaha are two Sterling teammates from Manchester City. Jesus and Mahrez have only managed 87 successful dribbles in the penalty area in the past five years. 5 more times.
This data is enough to prove Sterling’s strength. Leaving aside his shooting skills, he is enough to have a place in any giant team in the Premier League based on his extraordinary data in the penalty area.
