RAHEEM SO CALM FOR PEP
PEP GUARDIOLA saluted Raheem Sterling after the England star was a goal hero in the 3-1 victory over Everton.
Sterling (above) was a victim of shocking abuse at Chelsea and has been in the spotlight after his comments sparked mainstream debate on racism.
But the striker climbed off the bench to score Manchester City’s decisive third goal against Marco Silva’s stars.
“I see him so calm, he has handled in the last year many situations, a lot of rumours and not nice things about him and his family, in this case the colour of his skin,” said the City boss.
“That’s why I admire him, it’s not easy for him, but he’s happy playing football, he’s loved by all the staff, the locker room, the players.”
Guardiola added: “It was a tricky game less than three days after the Champions League. They’re a top side, with experienced players, but we’re back on track with three points.”
