Manchester City have been impressive efficiency in the Premier League during the month of December. It’s simple: 7 games, 7 wins, 24 goals scored, 5 conceded. Simply unplayable. Due to these good results, the Catalan tactician and conductor of this team, Pep Guardiola was logically elected manager of the month in England, for the second time in a row. Manchester City’s workforce is bloated and danger can come from anyone, making it difficult to keep just one player. Yet in December, it was Raheem Sterling who was named England’s player of the month, after his five goals (and one assist) in five league games.
The Englishman, who seemed on edge with his manager a while ago over playing time issues, was ready to ask to be transferred if things didn’t change. They have evolved well since, since he was one of the main architects of the advance in the standings of his club (+10 points over Chelsea, second). This is only the third time in his career that he has been voted player of the month, and the last was in 2018. The Daily Mail Even thinks that this regain of form would have motivated the cityzens leaders to submit a contract extension to the former Red before the end of the season.
