Raheem Sterling has promised to work on his finishing as he bids to join the world’s elite players.<\/p>\n
The Liverpool teenager said he is ready to take his game to a whole new level and be like his idol, Real Madrid\u2019s Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI try not to put pressure on myself, but I\u2019m looking to improve my goals to game ratio and try to chip in more for the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I am not scoring I need to be assisting and making goals which is a massive part of my game which I need to improve on really. That is my main aim this season to get that goals-per-game ratio up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really look up to Cristiano Ronaldo, he is someone that has always been an idol to me…but I\u2019m not going to say any more other than the players I look up to are the best in the world, and everyone wants to be like the best in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old built on his impressive form in the past 12 months by creating England\u2019s two goals in Switzerland to cement his place at the heart of the fresh young team, and he insisted he can take the next step towards the very top.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has definitely been a remarkable 12 months for me, it has been a quick turnaround but that is football for you. It changes within seconds really.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I am focusing this season on going again and going onto the next level which I know i can reach. I\u2019m determined it is only a matter of time before I get there.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
