Sergio let Sterling take one at Watford last season when he asked.I'm sure he did get over it and I'm aware of Sergio's status but this remains a team sport and Raz was on a hattrick, so still quite selfish imo, albeit pretty harmless.
No real tension but Raz was visibly disappointed by Kun's selfishness and rightfully so, if Kun had been on a hattrick Raz would've been quite happy to let him take the pen instead of padding his own stats.
It might be just me but I feel Aguero needs to step up his penalty game considerably if he's going to insist on taking them, his recent form has been rather poor.
Surely it being a team sport and less about individual accolades is part of the reason why Aguero took the penalty? If Aguero is designated penalty taker when on the pitch then we shouldn't abandon that because someone happens to be on a hat trick.
Sergio let Sterling take one at Watford last season when he asked.
I'm sure first game of the season, roles having been newly appointed, Sergio wanted to cement his name as the taker.
Also, I didn't see any visible signs of upset from Sterling. In fact, if memory serves he had a laugh and smile about it.
If it's a team sport would it not be selfish to just want a hat trick over the coach's decision of penalty taker sure?
I'd disagree, Kun is vying for all-time greatness in terms of Prem goals and was the captain at the time. I get that it would have been nice to let Raheem complete his hattrick, but I think we can all understand why Aguero wanted to take it and get his season started.
Does anyone here think there was a bit of tension between Raheem and Sergio yesterday?
If he took the penalty and the marginal offside wasn't called, he could of had 5. Frightening that he's only 24.
My bad. Still, very impressive performance.But it was Jesus who scored the goal that was ruled out for offside. And to be fair the game would have been completely different from that point so he might not have scored again.
Sterling has also been courted by the men’s grooming giant Gillette who have in the past signed some of the game’s biggest stars, including Thierry Henry and David Beckham. There is also interest in Sterling from the Swedish clothing multinational H&M to endorse their high street fashion lines.
The kid's becoming one of the biggest names in the sport before our eyes.
