Sterling has been quite troubled recently.

Because he's noticed his butt is getting bigger and bigger.

At first, 21-year-old Sterling thought it was just normal muscle growth.

For a player of his age, although his height won't develop anymore, his muscles haven't reached their peak yet.

Generally, it's around 24 or 25 when muscles gradually finish growing, reaching a player's strongest period.

But too much of a good thing can have the opposite effect, and an overly large butt has caused some trouble for Sterling on the field.

First of all, he feels his body coordination is off when running.

As Sterling runs, he always feels like there's a rock pressing on his butt;

He wonders whether to lean left or right, or whether to run with his butt stuck out or tightened, never feeling comfortable.

Sometimes, to balance the weight of his butt, he has to raise his hands, which still feels awkward, causing him to trip himself up in his typically sharp dribbling on the field, leading to some self-inflicted gags.

But the main issue is during 1-on-1 physical confrontations, his butt has become somewhat of a burden.

Generally, when players get marked closely by an opponent, they spread their arms to protect the ball and create distance, but not Sterling!

Sometimes, the reach of his arms is shorter than the radius his butt swings.

This makes the already not very tall Sterling particularly afraid of being marked closely by opponents.

This season, since joining Manchester City, Sterling, although a regular starter as a left winger, hasn't had ideal performance numbers. So far, after 11 Premier League matches, he's only scored 3 goals and made 1 assist, which isn't impressive amongst England players at this point, and far from his pre-season goal of 0.5 goals per match.

This makes Sterling slightly worried about whether he can start in next year's European Cup.

Sterling is anxious!

He first went to see the team's physical coach.

"Bro, what do I do about my butt?"

The physical coach examined Sterling's butt, then gave it a solid slap, making a crisp sound.

"Your hips are indeed big, even Kompany, who's 1.9 meters tall, doesn't have hips as big as yours!"

Sterling painfully told the coach his hip size is genetic; his father and grandfather both have even bigger butts than his.

"Then there's no solution, genetics are most important."

Having received no answer from the physical coach, Sterling went to the team doctor, Gracie.

"Miss Grace, is there any medical method to remove the muscle from my butt? It's seriously hampering my movement."

Gracie took a glance at Sterling's watermelon-like round behind, covered her mouth and laughed:

"Medically speaking, we can perform liposuction, but I've never heard of removing muscle."

"Muscles can only atrophy gradually, use it or lose it; for example, if you lay in bed for a year without moving, your butt muscles would naturally shrink, but I believe not just your gluteal muscles, other body muscles would shrink too."

Gracie's words were effectively a "death sentence" to Sterling.

Seeing Sterling's downcast face, Gracie did point out some problems.

"Your gluteal muscles are indeed developed, but you also have some degree of anterior pelvic tilt, which accentuates your hip protrusion. If you can correct this, your body posture would adjust somewhat."

"How long would it take to adjust?" Sterling asked wide-eyed.

Gracie pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "For ordinary people, it takes 1 to 2 years, but your anterior pelvic tilt is quite severe; I estimate 3 years at the minimum, maybe 5 years!"

Sometimes during practice, teammates would also joke about Sterling's butt.

Kolarov laughed and told Sterling, in future, when opponents take corner kicks, I won't stand at the back post anymore, you go and face the outside with your legs spread, covering more defensive area.

The sharp-tongued Nasri half-jokingly complained to Sterling, asking if he could not sit next to him in the locker room? Every time you sit down, I'm left with only half a seat.

Sabaleta patted Sterling's butt and told him, if you were a girl, I'd definitely take you to a hotel tonight for a good time.

These jokes made the teammates burst into laughter but left Sterling more gloomy.

Despite his young age, with a record transfer fee from Liverpool to Manchester City, and being last year's Golden Boy winner;

In truth, the young man is quite fragile inside; he was often bullied to tears by domineering Milner when he was around.

Due to abnormal bodily development impacting his football moves, Sterling's emotions have hit a low point, often staying somber and speaking little.

One day after practice, Sterling was taking a shower.

As he was washing the foam off his head under the shower.

He suddenly felt a shadow approaching from behind.

Sterling quickly turned his head and saw Tang Long had entered his cubicle, facing him stark naked.

The two were less than half a meter apart, and Tang Long was still staring at his butt.

"Uh, what do you want to do?"

Sterling hastily wiped off the foam from his head, took a step back, and nervously leaned against the shower room wall.

At that moment, all sorts of bad thoughts flashed through his mind.

Tang Long slowly pointed at Sterling's butt, surprised, and said:
