Former Manchester City striker Paul Dickov is impressed by Raheem Sterling's leadership skills.
Sterling led to City to victory over Champions League opponents Porto in midweek.
Dickov told the club's website: “With Raheem, he's shown you don't always have to be a shouter or a bawler to be a captain.
“There's a perception that if you shout the loudest, you're a fantastic captain but that doesn't always work.
“Raheem leads by example and as a captain by how he plays with, and without, the ball and how he is off the pitch.
“People talk about the goals he scores and how many he creates, but if you look at that high press which we employ, nine times out of 10 it's Raheem who sets it off so he's already settling the example.
“Pep (Guardiola) knows that, and the players obviously respect him and that's why he's got the armband."
