Fenoord head coach Robin van Persie publicly supported Raheem Sterling and criticized the positioning of some of the media and fans before the match after the Dutch championship match against Zwolle.

After defeating Zwolle, Zwolle van Persie stated that the 30-year-old winger deserves more credit for his career achievements in England. In the final round of the season, Sterling gained over 70 points and additional teams finished the championship in another place in the Yeredivisie..

" “We deserve our honor,” said van Persie, adding that there was dissatisfaction with the over-the-top criticism addressed to the grave.

The coach said that Sterling has great evidence of performances on the highest level, currently in the Premier League and the English national team, and called to appreciate him not only for his current form, but also for his career.

It is also reported that after the end of the season, Van Persie plans to especially keep in touch with the footballer, or to support him in the simmering public pressure.

Apparently, it was previously reported that Raheem Sterling would leave Fenoord after the end of the current season, as the club does not plan to continue the partnership with Gravec.
