Guest Liverbird Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 http://www.lfchistory.net/images/profiles/player_sterling.jpg Birthdate: 8 December 1994 Birthplace: Kingston, Jamaica Bought from: Queens Park Rangers (youth) Signed for LFC: £500,000, 27.02.2010 International debut: 14.11.2012 vs. Sweden International caps: 16/1 (14.06.2015) Liverpool debut: 24.03.2012 Last appearance: 16.05.2015 Debut goal: 20.10.2012 Last goal: 13.04.2015 Contract expiry: Signed 21.12.2012 Win ratio: 50.39% W: 65 27 L: 37 Games/goals ratio: 5.61 LFC league games/goals: 95 / 18 Total LFC games/goals: 129 / 23 http://www.lfchistor...er/Profile/1237 http://int.soccerway.com/players/raheem-sterling/160414/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raheem_Sterling Player profile Sterling joined Liverpool as a 15-year-old from the youth set-up at Queens Park Rangers on 27 February 2010. His family moved from Jamaica when he was seven. Sterling had been featuring regularly for Rangers' u-18 team at that time as well as the reserves. There is a tendency to exaggerate the potential of young promising players like Sterling and the hype machine certainly went into full swing when he scored five goals for Liverpool's youth side in a 9-0 FA Cup win over Southend in February 2011. Following his performance he was included in the club's senior squad that travelled to Prague ahead of their Europa League contest on 17 February 2011. Sterling, who had to have a guardian following him to Prague as he was so young, ultimately didn't make the bench but the experience must have been valuable. Finally, after much speculation, he made his Liverpool first-team debut when he came on as a late substitute against Wigan Athletic at Anfield towards the end of a 2-1 Premier League defeat on 24 March 2012. Two more substitute appearances followed in the end-of-season matches against the west London clubs Fulham and Chelsea. Since Brendan Rodgers took over as boss at Liverpool Sterling has become a vital player in the starting line-up and his rapid progress earned him a call-up to the England u-21's In October and on 14 November 2012, at 17 years and 332 days, he became the fifth-youngest England player when making his debut against Sweden in Stockholm. Sterling signed a new and long-term five-year contract with Liverpool just before Christmas 2012. Sterling appeared in thirty-six of the club's fifty-four competitive matches in 2012/13. But the majority of those came before New Year and he wasn't used so frequently in the second half of the season, partly because he had a thigh injury but possibly also through loss of form and confidence and maybe because he had a court case hanging over him for a matter which was eventually dropped when a witness failed to turn up in court. The winger will probably feel that appearing in over 60% of the Premier League fixtures marked considerable progress in his professional career. But his form fluctuated and he only scored twice, in home matches against Reading and Sunderland. Passing his 18th birthday midway through the season, this young man still has a lot to prove despite his recognition at international level. Sterling had a wonderful 2013/14 season, immediately after which he was named as part of England's squad for the World Cup finals in Brazil along with his team-mates Glen Johnson, Steven Gerrard, Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge. Still several months short of his 20th birthday when the season ended, this young man really came of age in a footballing sense by appearing in nearly 90% of Liverpool's competitive matches during the season. But apart from becoming a regular in the first team, he started to become a real asset as a goal-taker in addition to being a goal-maker. Ten goals scored was a massive improvement on the two he had scored in 2012/13, especially as he only played in two matches less in that previous season. His dribbling ability and the way he ran at defenders and refused to be knocked off the ball was a constant threat to opponents as he finally began to fulfil the success that had been predicted for him when he was a youngster at Queens Park Rangers in London. Sterling was nominated for the Professional Footballers' Association Young Player of the Year award which was ultimately won by Chelsea's Eden Hazard. But at LFC's own Players' Awards evening, held in the final week of the season, Raheem deservedly took the Young Player award in recognition of the enormous progress he had made during the previous twelve months, progress which ought to continue in the years ahead because the winger has now added great self-belief and confidence to his obvious ability. World Cup 2014 : Still a few months short of his 20th birthday Sterling was a member of the England squad in Brazil and played throughout the opening group match against Italy in Manaus. He started again against Uruguay four days later but was replaced by Ross Barkley after twenty minutes of the second half. He again came on as a substitute in the final group match against Costa Rica, this time for Adam Lallana. On the field Sterling continued to make good progress in 2014/15. Fifty-two appearances for his club in all competitions was easily the highest of his career so far and eleven goals was one more than his total for the previous season. It was off the field that the problems arose. Under contract to his club until the end of June 2017 he turned down a new contract which would have made him a very wealthy young man indeed. He then unwisely agreed to be interviewed by the BBC without the permission/approval of his club and in that interview insisted that he was motivated by trophies not financial rewards. Inevitably this led to a backlash against him by some supporters and he was even heckled as he went up to receive the club's Young Player of the Season award. As the 2014/15 season ended his future was still very uncertain with the player seemingly uncertain what to do and the club making it clear that the player was still under contract and that they had no obligation or desire to let him move somewhere else.

Guest deadpoll Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 A Boy's Own Half Term Tale FOR one pupil at Rainhill High, tomorrow's return to school following the half-term holidays is likely to spark some genuinely unique playground chatter.So what did you get up to while you were off?" goes the bog standard question. "Well, er, let me think. On Monday, I played at Anfield for Liverpool's youth team. We won 9-0 and I scored five goals. Then on Tuesday, I was named in Liverpool's first team squad for the trip to Prague alongside the likes of Pepe Reina, Jamie Carragher, Raul Meireles and Dirk Kuyt. On Wednesday we flew out to the Czech Republic and trained at the Generali Stadium. I didn't get a game on Thursday but I got to watch Kenny Dalglish's first ever European game as Liverpool manager in person. Oh, I almost forgot, on Saturday I played for the under-18s, we beat Stoke City 4-1 and I scored twice." As answers go it is the type that usually makes most schoolchildren wonder if their mate has been doing a bit too much dreaming. But when the pupil in question is Raheem Sterling then it is simply a blow by blow account of what has unquestionably been one of the most incredible weeks of his young life. It really is boy's own stuff. But that is the point – for all the excitement and inevitable hype that a run of events like this will inevitably bring, the most important thing to remember is that Raheem is still a schoolboy. He clearly has potential – he would not be at Liverpool's Academy otherwise – but he is not the finished article, far from it. The worst thing that could happen to him now would be to be overburdened by the kind of expectation that has helped derail the careers of countless a promising youngster before now. He needs to be allowed to grow, develop and just enjoy his football without being overloaded by the excitement of those who are desperate for him to be the next big thing, no matter how well meaning they are. It's not always easy to be reserved and restrained in such situations. I've looked back at my Twitter entries from the night of Liverpool's 9-0 win over Southend United in the FA Youth Cup and Sterling's name is mentioned time and time again. Five goals – at least two of them outstanding individual efforts – made it somewhat inevitable that this would be the case, such feats of personal achievement will always be recorded and celebrated regardless of the age of the player responsible. But that is where it needs to start and finish, there is nothing to be gained by predicting how good Raheem could turn out to be – and there is certainly no point in comparing to players who have already made their names at the highest level – because all that does is heap unnecessary pressure on a youngster who may not yet be ready to deal with it. We have been here before of course, many times. Football is littered with the next big things who fail to live up to the hype. That's not their fault, they have simply displayed high levels of ability at a tender age and others have then plotted an over ambitious career path for them that they have been unable to live up to. "Remember the name" one television commentator famously remarked when a 16-year-old Wayne Rooney opened his account with a magnificent goal for Everton against Arsenal at Goodison Park. But there are other names that have long since been forgotten, or at least pushed into the recesses of the mind by the passage of time, simply because their careers never progressed beyond the developmental stage despite looking like world beaters as teenagers. At Liverpool, the most obvious example is another Wayne, in his case with the surname of Harrison, not Rooney. In March 1985, Joe Royle, the then manager of Oldham Athletic, was sitting down at his office at the club's Boundary Park stadium when the telephone rang. As soon as he answered he recognised the voice at the other end, it was Liverpool manager Joe Fagan. After a brief bit of banter between the pair, Fagan cut to the chase. He wanted to sign Harrison, who was then just 17-years-old but was rated as the most promising teenager in the country despite having played only two games in the old Second Division. Royle was not keen to sell. He had envisaged building a team around the teenage forward and even though Oldham were not well off financially he wanted to keep hold of Harrison in the hope of seeing him fulfil his obvious potential at Boundary Park. Fagan, though, was persistent, and an offer of £250,000 was made, which was then a world record fee for a teenager, that was ultimately accepted. As soon as news of the transfer seeped out, Harrison went from promising youngster to the next big thing in the blink of an eye. He was going to replace Dalglish in Liverpool's first team, be awarded in excess of 100 England caps and take Bobby Charlton's goalscoring record for the national team. There was no limit to his potential. Not in the eyes of the media and those taken in by the hype anyway. But this destined to be a fairytale without a happy ending. For all Harrison's ability, he never made the grade at Anfield and he disappeared from view to such an extent that by the age of just 22 he was forced to retire from the game that he had been tipped to become a star of. A cruel succession Injuries put paid to his dreams and after a total of 23 football related operations it was decided that his body could not take any more and the only option available to him was to hang his boots up. The word tragedy is overused in sport but what befell Harrison at such a young age could only ever be described as tragic. Luck can sometimes be as important as talent when it comes to young footballers and at the stage of his career when he needed it most, the only fortune that Harrison received was of the shockingly bad variety. There was nothing Harrison could have done differently to make things turn out as he'd hoped. He was just an unwitting victim of fate, a player who had seen his undoubted potential amount to precious little simply because things had not gone his way. That is how finely balanced hopes of making it to the top can be. One day you can have the world at your feet, the next it is cruelly snatched away. This is not intended to put a dampener on the excitement that had built up over Raheem Sterling over the past seven days, to do so would be unnecessarily heartless to a young player who has just enjoyed the best week of his burgeoning career. Nor is it a suggestion that he will not make it – indeed, the early indications are that he has got as good, if not a better, chance of doing so as any. His talent is precocious, his attitude mature beyond his tender years, his mastery of the football a joy to behold. But Harrison's story should serve as a salutary, if extreme, lesson that the best young players don't always become the best senior players. Few know that better than Dalglish, who saw Harrison's sad decline at first hand after taking over from Fagan within two months of the world's most expensive teenager being signed. On Wednesday night, the Liverpool manager quite rightly did all that he could to ensure that the hype surrounding Sterling did not get out of hand. "We don't have to manage the expectations of anyone apart from yourselves, you are the ones who are blowing things out of proportion," Dalglish told the media at the pre-match press conference in Prague. "Raheem can handle it, we can handle him, but everyone just needs a little bit of help. He might have got the praise but there were a lot of other people who deserved it too (Monday's youth cup win). Flanno and Jack Robbo have already been in Europa League squads. You've got to be very, very responsible when you're talking about Raheem. "It's fantastic for him to be involved as it is for the three other lads. Obviously Tom Ince has been involved before but for the four lads from the youth team it's a fantastic occasion. We want to make sure they feel part and parcel of the football club. They are here because they deserve to be here and maybe because of the injuries we've got at the moment it dictates that they are here. They've done very well but none of them will be carried away with the result the other night in the Youth Cup." Tomorrow, there will be excitement on the playground at Rainhill High. That, though, is where it should remain for the time being because Raheem Sterling's chances of being the player that everyone hopes he will be best served by him being given the opportunity to develop free of the burden of expectation. много добра статия.много хора пискаха защо рахийм не бе пуснат срещу спарта.ето ви отговора.кени далглиш е видял всичко във футбола, и аз предпочитам да му се доверя.мисля че за пореден път се е справил страхотно с медиите Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest S.Gerrard Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Four Reds called up by England Four of Liverpool's most promising Academy youngsters have been called up by England for the forthcoming U17 European Championships. Raheem Sterling, Adam Morgan, Brad Smith and Matty Regan have all been named in John Peacock's squad for the tournament in Serbia between May 3-15. England U17s will be defending their title as European Champions. Sterling and co will face hosts Serbia, France and Denmark in Group A, and if they finish in the top two of their group of four then they will progress to the Semi-Final. Group B is made up of Czech Republic, Germany, Holland and Romania. The competition also offer an opportunity for the squad to qualify for June's FIFA U17 World Cup in Mexico, which they will do by finishing in third place or higher in Group A. England will kick-off the tournament with a clash against France on Tuesday, May 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest S.Gerrard Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Sky Sports Scout - Raheem Sterling http://img.skysports.com/10/03/800x600/Raheem-Sterling-Sky-Sports-Scout-800_2432206.jpg NAME: Raheem Sterling AGE: 15 (9th December, 1994) BORN: Kingston, Jamaica POSITION: Winger CLUB: Liverpool FACTS: Jamaican born but has pledged international future to England 51-60 - Great prospect Raheem Sterling hit the headlines in recent months, after being described as one of the best young players in England. Liverpool won the battle to sign him from Queens Park Rangers - now Sky Sports Scout takes the chance to check up on the youngster. Sterling has been hitting the headlines for more than a year, hard to contemplate as he was just 14. But still only 15, Sterling was at the centre of a massive transfer battle with Liverpool fending off both Manchester clubs to land the young winger. QPR were helpless to keep the winger that had been raised though their own Academy - after it became known Sterling was wanted by some of the country's biggest clubs. He opted for Liverpool, and at just 15, they are understood to have a struck a deal worth more than £1million. Sterling is a seemingly archetypal modern English winger - diminutive with pace to burn. Very much in the vein of a Theo Walcott, Aaron Lennon, Shaun Wright-Phillips or even Jermaine Pennant - it is not hard to see what Sterling offers. Sterling does have immense pace and it is more than likely he will spend most of his career on the right wing - but he does have other things to offer. He is very good with his left foot and is almost two footed, whilst he also has outstanding skill and close control. The scout says... All in all, Sterling is an outstanding prospect who, even at 15, does not look a million miles away from being first-team ready. But the benefits of being part of the Liverpool set-up will not be lost on him - they will nurture him, and although they won't be frightened to play him, they will do it when the time is right. The Scout rating... Shooting: 7 out of 10 Passing: 7 out of 10 Tackling: 5 out of 10 Heading: 5 out of 10 Pace: 9 out of 10 Vision: 8 out of 10 Current ability: 6 out of 10 Potential ability: 10 out of 10 OVERALL SCOUT RATING: 57/80 Current value: £1.5million Potential value: £22million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

За сега има светло бъдеще дано да продължава да се развива и да може да го пускаме за купите за да усъвършенства качествата си. А за гола просто нямам думи, след толкова добра игра си го заслужи.

Guest Stojkica Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Аз пък никога не съм гледал толкова надарен футболист , поне не и англичанин. Пичуи, дайте го малко по-кротко с оценките за това момче, което още няма 17. Да няма друга песен след 2-3 години - ама защо го дават под наем, ама защо не го пускат, ама не знам си какво си... Че има талант - безспорно е. Че има визия, мислене - също. Ама да кажеш, че е най-надареният английски играч, който си гледал, това означава, че гледаш футбол от няколко години и не си гледал никога играчи като Джон Барнс, Пол Гаскойн и Лий Шарп. Отделен върпос е, че последните двама бяха съспани от алкохол, наркотици и други подобни. Но това не ги прави ненадарени. Ами Джерард? Много по-комплексен играч е от Стърлинг и единственото в, което му отстъпва е техниката и донякъде в линейната скорост, но по всички останали параграфи го бие безспорно. Мисълта ми е, че е хубаво да свалим розовите цайси и да гледаме малко по-реално. Т.е. имаме безспорен талант, който обаче трябва да се развива в много насоки, за да успее да го покаже и на най-високо ниво след 4-5 години.

Guest NikolaY Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 И аз съм на мнение, че не трябва да се бърза с хвалбите по Рахим. Наистина за възрастта си превъзхожда връстниците си и по техника и по бързина и по мислене, но това не е гаранция, че когато се стигне до периода да успее да влезне в мъжкия футбол. Някои играчи като юноши са суперталанти и момента в който трябва да преминат от юношеския към мъжкия футбол, просто не успяват. Дай Боже той да успее обаче.
