Raheem Sterling scored a penalty in last weekend's match against Wolverhampton, reaching the milestone of 100 goals in the Premier League. This achievement was truly important for the 27-year-old Englishman, and in a recent interview with Sky Sports, R. Sterling shared his thoughts on this accomplishment and his mentality. "Reaching 100 goals is a wonderful achievement at 27, but there are still things I have to achieve. I am very grateful. As a child, you never know if you will achieve such things or not," said R. Sterling. What lies ahead for Man City's forward Raheem? Sterling said, "I want to get as close as possible to 200 goals in the Premier League! I have to score at least 18 or 20 goals per season and convert opportunities. If I score a two-digit number of goals in a season, then there is a chance to win something. When I was younger, I scored goals, but it wasn't something I was obsessed with. I was obsessed when I fooled someone or dribbled in the field when the opponent went the other way, and I went the other way. I grew up in London with this principle." "When you are 17 years old and get called up to the first team, you can perform well and that's all people will talk about because of your young age. However, over time, people expect big things from you on the field. I have always been a player who was in positions to score goals, so I knew that if I stayed focused and had the right mentality to score and enjoy goals, then I could do it," said R. Sterling.
