Sterling back on track under Guardiola, says Rodgers
Reuters Published in Ahram Online on 28 - 09 - 2016

Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling is on course to become one of the world's best players under the guidance of manager Pep Guardiola after the youngster seemed to lose his way last season, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has said.
After completing a 44 million pound ($57.18 million) move from Liverpool in 2015, the 21-year-old struggled to live up to his hefty price tag, scoring 11 goals in 47 appearances for Manuel Pellegrini's side last season.
Sterling, however, has thrived under new boss Guardiola's stewardship, with the England international's four goals and three assists in six Premier League starts helping unbeaten City climb to the top of the table.
"Raheem is back on track to be one of the world's top players. He is already one of the world's top young players but (can be) one of the world's leading players," Rodgers, who managed Sterling for three seasons at Liverpool, told British media.
"He's dynamic, super-quick and has great qualities and now has a clear plan of the team he's playing in. For a season or so he drifted -- maybe not so much to do with him. He has to be in a clear structure, with a way of working.
"He just needed to regain his identity, what he is. He's clearly working now with a coach who is very clear in terms of how he wants to play and I think when you have that with Raheem you maximise what you get out of him."
Celtic will look for their first win in the Champions League group stage this season when they host City on Wednesday.
