Grealish defends Sterling after criticism over Feyenoord debut

Jack Grealish defended his former teammate at Manchester City and the England national team, Raheem Sterling (31), after he faced harsh criticism on social media following his debut for the Dutch club Feyenoord in a 2-1 win against Telstar on Sunday. Sterling, who had not played in a competitive match for 9 months, looked uncertain on the pitch, like a child taking his first steps. He needs more patience from manager Robin van Persie, a former legend of Arsenal and Manchester United.

Someone wrote on their Instagram account: "Raheem Sterling's start at Feyenoord was not a success; in fact, it was a disaster from the Dutch club's point of view." The post continued: "The English winger looked like a little fawn walking on ice, since 2022."
