Sturridge trains with Mallorca starting this Wednesday in his process to find the best level and return to being the player who won the Champions League just over two seasons ago. The British forward would be a luxury reinforcement for a Balearic team that in its statement did not clarify the future of this relationship. Likewise, some statements from the former international with the England National Team came out in which he showed his "obsession with being better than he was before."

The technical management of Mallorca does not stop pulling aces out of hand to leave Luís García Plaza with the best possible group of players to face this return to the First Division. After confirmation of the continuity of Mollejo and Amath and the new additions of Ángel, Jaume Costa, Greif and Maffeo, Pablo Ortells hits the table again and incorporates Daniel Sturridge into training for the vermilion team.

Although it is true that the forward has not been with any team since March 2020, when Trabzonspor terminated his contract for being sanctioned for illegal betting, Sturridge himself assured, in an interview with journalist Jake Humphrey, that " I'm obsessed with being better than I was before." The Briton claims to have been "training day in and day out for the last 12 months, even when he was sanctioned. There was Covid and no one could play, but looking forward I'm sure I'm fine, it's hard to explain, I'm sorry and people are going Let's see".

Sturridge shows his desire to feel like a footballer again and show the player he is. His ambition to achieve it seems to have no limits, so much so that he declares that "I am training so intensely that my performance exceeds what I was eight years ago. I am better than before. I am also older, I have more knowledge, my body is in good physically, I didn't think it was possible to do the things I'm doing now. I'm proving to myself that it's possible and I'm proud of it."

The striker seems to have reached a stage of fullness and maturity in his life and assures that "I know that when it's time to go to sleep I can say to myself "this is not good for you", I know what I can do and what I can't. I am responsible for everything that comes my way. I am motivated, I want to win and help the team, I want to pass on my knowledge to young players so that they do not make the mistakes that I have made and help them to be the best version of themselves. This is important to me, to make the younger ones understand that I have gone through many difficult things but that I have managed to get out of them and now I feel better than I did 10 years ago, it is strange to say it, but it is emotional and physically It's also showing, I feel amazing."

A striker repentant of his past who wants to get back on the pitch and score goals. A movement -one more- of Mallorca in the market to try to make a difference this season. In the event that the Balearic team can have the option of incorporating Sturridge into their squad, recovering their best level and incorporating him into their team, they can make the leap in quality to a team that has not stopped since the transfer period began to increase the level of the players.
