Raheem Sterling sat in entrance of the media this afternoon at Cobham to take his first official Chelsea press convention as a Blue.
It was an excellent interview and actually confirmed that Chelsea not solely signed a high quality participant, however they’ve additionally signed a really level-headed chief.
I had my doubts over Sterling after we have been first linked, I need to admit, I wasn’t certain whether or not his frustrations in entrance of purpose that I had witnessed from him could be a unfavourable issue. However after actually pondering it, the positives largely outweighed the negatives (one unfavourable) and I quickly got here round to it and truly received very excited after we did lastly announce him as a brand new Chelsea participant.
Sterling was measured, good, and really open along with his solutions he gave as we speak, which you’ll watch on Chelsea’s fifth Stand App or official YouTube channel. We all know he has come right here to win, and his management and affect will probably be an enormous plus level for us, as a result of the latter two qualities is one thing now we have actually lacked over latest seasons. Chelsea have wanted extra leaders, and Sterling is completely that.
He talks about how Steven Gerrard put an arm round him when he was a younger participant at Liverpool, and now he’s doing the identical at Chelsea, and this will probably be enormous for us to have a man like this across the membership, within the dressing room, and most significantly, his actual high quality out on the pitch.
