SourceAfter the Manchester City game, Enzo Maresca made a comment that he wants Raheem Sterling in his team and just yesterday he has changed his tune and is now telling us that Sterling is not his type of player.
According to reports, Sterling has been stripped of his jersey and is banned from training with the first team. I am not a Chelsea fan but even I know it is utter disrespect the way Raheem Sterling is being treated at Chelsea. This is not how to treat a player you have fallen out of love with. The club should sell Sterling now before the transfer window closes instead of this humiliation.
The only thing I find disrespectful is the stripping off a senior players like Raheem Sterling of his jersey number when he's still registered as a player of the club and that I think shouldn't even happen in the first place but apart from that, I don't see anything wrong in any other Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said about ths England international. Every manager have the kind of players that suits their style of football but from the look of things, Enzo Maresca doesn't find Sterling worthy enough to play in his team so the player should leave instead of staying back where he's not accepted.
It is within the rights of the manager to decide which player fits into his playing style. However what should not be condoned is the humiliation Raheem Sterling is being subjected to in the club right now. In football, there should be respect and I think the problem is beyond the point of being a good match for the new manager. I suspect the decision isn’t entirely from Enzo Maresca and may be influenced by Todd Boehly. It looks as though Chelsea are trying to force Sterling out of the club in order to cut costs. Sterling performed really well during the pre-season and there eas no complaint from the manager then. So why the sudden changed of heart?
