Raheem Sterling "seduces people with his football," says Stuart Pearce at talkSPORT

Former international international Stuart Pearce praised Raheem Sterling after the striker's magnificent game against the Czech Republic.

Sterling managed a hat trick while England was in full swing to impose 5-0 on Wembley and thus start his qualifying campaign for Euro 2020 perfectly.

Harry Kane and the comical goal of Tomas Kalas were the other scorers of the Three Lions.

Gareth Southgate's men made a good showing by continuing their performance of last summer's World Cup performance, where they reached the semi-finals.

However, the shape of Sterling has changed dramatically: the Manchester City man was a villain among the Three Lions fans who missed several opportunities in Russia.

The 24-year-old is a new man this season. He qualified twice in England's fantastic win over Spain in the UEFA Nations League in October.

Sterling has scored 15 goals in 27 Premier League appearances this season, an excellent form considering the personal adversity he had to face with a group of Chelsea admirers who allegedly racially badaulted him in a Stamford Bridge in December.

Pearce was very impressed by Sterling's performance and particularly praised the player's character, saying that Sterling "conquered many people with his football".

Pearce told talkSPORT, "I think he won a lot of people with his football. I really do.

"He was the only player in the World Cup to have question marks and, in my opinion, unfairly. It was not necessary to exert such pressure on a young player like him.

"What impresses me about him is that when he plays under pressure and he does not go particularly well, he does not shirk. He will not hide.

"That's why he stands out, he always gets the ball, he always plays every game and the amount of games he has played for Manchester City and his country without dodging performance is commendable. . "
