Guardiola was full of praise for Sterling following the Everton victory at the Etihad. “I see him so calm,” Guardiola said of the 24-year-old. “I think he has handled in the last years many situations, rumours, people saying not nice things about him, his family or, in that case, the colour of his skin: so that is why I admire him. "He is calm, happy playing, beloved in the locker room, so it is good.” Read More Mirror Football's Top Stories … [Read more...] about Raheem Sterling features in new Nike advert after speaking out against racism
