Anthony Martial and Raheem Sterling have lots in common. Both are only just into their twenties, are in their first seasons at Manchester United and City respectively and both were the subject of hotly-debated transfers, albeit for very different reasons.Both have hardly spoken to the media at all, certainly not at any length, so with derby day approaching it seemed like a good idea to spend the day in Manchester and catch up with two of the brightest young talents in the Premier League. It was a slightly inauspicious start when I arrived early at Manchester Uniteds Carrington training complex in a bright blue taxi, in this week of all weeks. Sterling moved to Manchester City from Liverpool in the summer The first thing that strikes you about Martial when he walk into a room is his sheer physical size. He really is a big old unit. Smiling and polite, he makes a point of shaking hands with everybody in the room.A translator is required for the interview but he understands a lot of English already, far more than he can speak. I make a bit of effort in my schoolboy French but end up sounding like Steve McClaren auditioning for Ello Ello! Once the chat got underway his personality came to the fore. Charming and bright yet studious and sincere is how I would sum him up. Its clear the incredible position he has reached in his football career so far is no accident - but the result of talent, dedication and a steely-eyed determination. Charming and bright yet studious and sincere is how I would sum him up Shreeves on Martial Wise beyond his tender years, he learnt from his astonishing £5m move from Lyon to Monaco aged just 16, so has been able to take the seven-fold increase in his price tag into his stride as easily as he would a pass through on goal.He has very clear career objectives, which he is focused on 100 per cent.He also had a nice line in humour and a ready smile. His level-headedness is as obvious as it is impressive. I couldnt quite work out if he is a man in a boys body or a boy in a mans body. Maybe a bit of both. Interview over, and it was time to head 10 miles across town to Manchester City, where a very different interview lay ahead.Guarded, wary, suspicious and to date deliberately media shy, Sterling was shaping up to be the polar opposite of the young man I had just spent time with. Shreeves is picked up in a blue taxi for the interviews Ever since his acrimonious move from Liverpool he has been viciously vilified on social media and in his eyes he has been labelled as the perfect example of everything that is wrong with football: Greedy, disloyal and uncaring.Any time he did try to engage publicly with his opinion it just rebounded on him. So he just withdrew. Not in a sulk or complaining fashion, more of a I cant win whatever I say, so why say anything? But hes now come through all of that. And some. Today was a day off but he came in because he wanted to do the interview. He wanted to re-engage with football fans. He knows there will always be haters but he can deal with that. Uniteds form has been inconsistent, but Martial still looks a top class signing He wanted to talk football and that is exactly what he did for half an hour. Brutally honest, insightful and with a wicked line in self-depreciation his interview will suprise many people.He knows there is a preconception of him which is far from flattering. He doesnt complain about that one jot but he would like people to see the real him and then make up their mind. He is certainly on no media charm offensive, hes just looking for a bit of objectivity and fairness.There are too many highlights from the interview itself to mention but him talking about his mum and calling her Jose Mourinho had me in stitches... He knows there is a preconception of him which is far from flattering. He doesnt complain about that one jot but he would like people to see the real him and then make up their mind Shreeves on Sterling So it was a highly insightful day in sunny (genuinely!) Manchester, and I for one came away with a real insight and understanding of these fortunate young mens lives.If you catch the interviews I hope you feel the same.Watch Geoff Shreeves interview with Raheem Sterling on Sky Sports News HQ on Friday, and with Anthony Martial on Saturday or see them here on skysports.com.

And the Calgary Stampeders colourful defensive co-ordinator has no shortage of entertaining material for his meetings with coaches and players. "He has jokes for days about everything," said linebacker Juwan Simpson. "We have to stop him, though, because meetings go a lot longer than theyre supposed to because of stories." Along with that cache of football lore is the experience and expertise that comes from serving on the coaching staffs of, and winning Grey Cups with, four other CFL clubs. Add the high school, college and Arena Football League jobs Stubler has also held and hes been in the profession 45 years. "Hes probably forgotten more football than we all know in our whole defensive meeting room combined," defensive line coach DeVone Claybrooks said. Stubler broke into the CFL as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats defensive co-ordinator 31 years ago. Hes designed defences for 25 years with the Ticats, B.C. Lions, Edmonton Eskimos and Toronto Argonauts. He also served as the Argos head coach in 08. John Hufnagel, Calgarys head coach/GM, hired Stubler this off-season after Rick Campbell left to become the head coach of the expansion Ottawa Redblacks. Stubler arrived following a two-year stint with B.C., whose defence was ranked first overall against the run and pass in 2012. Halfway through the 2014 campaign, Calgary is allowing a league-low 14.9 points per game. In four contests this season, the Stampeders havent surrendered an offensive touchdown. Opposing offences havent found the endzone against Calgary on their last 29 drives and only once in the last 37 possessions. Defensive end Shawn Lemon exuberantly declared Stubler "a genius" following the Stampeders 28-13 win over the Edmonton Eskimos on Labour Day. Calgary (8-1) boasts the CFLs best record heading into its rematch with Edmonton (7-2) at Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday. "Stube has brought his style of defence that I knew he would," Hufnagel said. "The players have embraced it and theyre playing it very well. "We still have room for improvement, but they are doing a great job of tackling and thats the key to what Stube likes to do on defence." Stubler says football is much the same now as it was when his father coached. When Stubler arrived in Calgary, his goal was the same as its been with other CFL teams he has been with, which is matching a players strengths and skills with a job and empowering him to do it. "Football is not based on schemes," he said. "You have to be able to adapt everybody thats in your system to be able to maximize what they can do. "If they can take ownership of whatts happening, we have a chance to be pretty good.dddddddddddd. If they cant take ownership, we wont be very good." Stubler, a 65-year-old native of Garfield County, Colo., took over a defence that featured such veteran leaders as Simpson, rush end Charleston Hughes and defensive backs Keon Raymond and Brandon Smith. Rather than impose his years of experience on them, Simpson and Claybrooks say its Stublers light hand and inclusiveness that has galvanized the defence. "He knows a lot of football and you have no choice but to respect a guy who has been around a game this long and been this successful as long as he has," Simpson explains. "One thing he does is allow us players to play football. He plays to the strength of his players, not the strength of his quote-unquote defence. "He allows us to go out and if we want to try something well try it. If it doesnt work, this is why it didnt work. Not only do we believe in him, we believe in ourselves. Were the ones out there running the defence. Hes made that very clear." Claybrooks agrees. "Thats what Stube does a great job with," he said. "He lets his coaches coach and his players play. "Hes not a micromanager." Claybrooks is in his third season as defensive line coach after three seasons patrolling Calgarys defensive line. When the defence gathers for the game-plan meeting, he says nothing is off-limits and creativity is encouraged. "The players make it their own because theyre like Why dont we tweak this and that and do this and that? " Claybrooks said. "A lot of defensive co-ordinators would be like No, this is how the blitz is run. Were going to run it that way. "They are out there running the plays and if it works better for them where theyre comfortable in it and they believe in it, then were a success." Stubler believes he still has another five years of coaching in him. That would take him to age 70 and give him 50 years in the profession. "I started coaching when I was 20 and my dad was a coach before me and thats my identity I guess," he said. Claybrooks interviewed for Calgarys defensive co-ordinators job and had opportunities to go elsewhere this season. But one reason he remained in Calgary was the opportunity to work alongside Stubler. "From a longterm growth of where I want to be in the future, this is the greatest situation because you get to learn from a guy who has been a defensive co-ordinator 27 years in this league and a coach for 40-some years," Claybrooks said. "You think you know everything and he draws up something, and youre like Wow, why didnt I think of that? "Then our favourite saying to him is Thats why they pay you the big bucks.
