Borrell On Sterling

Reserve team coach Rodolfo Borrell on Raheem Sterling:"There is a lot to be positive about," "We have a lot of very good players with different attributes. A lot of people talk about Raheem Sterling, but there are others of course - players that have played underme and are now with the first team a lot more. "I have had the pleasure to be Raheem's only coach since he arrived here, progressing through the ranks. I am pleased to see the player has made a lot of improvement in many areas. "Obviously talent is talent and he came with many, many interesting things; that's why he was signed by Liverpool Football Club. But we have been working hard with him onimproving parts of the game where he could get better. It is important to get the right balance between the talent andeverything else."
