Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling revealed manager Pep Guardiola had urged him to be more direct and clinical.
Sterling scored for the first time since September as City recorded a much-needed 2-1 win over Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.
"He has told me to be direct, to be the player he knows I want to be," Sterling told UK newspapers.
"To be direct, to be involved in creating chances and scoring goals, being clinical and that's what I need to do.
"I watch players to get better. I'm only 22 and I'm going to watch world-class players to see if I can improve my game week in, week out.
"There's many players in my position I watch, and to keep adding to my game."
"I'm massively excited about this season and what we can achieve," he said.
"Of course we want the title and to do well in the Champions League. It's good times ahead, exciting times, and we just need to keep going."
