Olympique de Marseille coach Igor Tudor reacted to the press for the first time to the recruitment of Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez.
The Croatian technician assured that the former member of Inter Milan will join the group for the match in Brest on Sunday as part of the second day of Ligue 1. “He will be part of the workforce, we will see in what position. I only trained him twice but yes there are similarities with Ronaldo. What I saw of him pleased me. He works hard, I hope he will become a reference for the team.
Jorge Sampaoli’s successor has brushed the profile of the 33-year-old. “He can play in all three attacking positions. We can see it on the right, on the left… When you have such a strong player, whether he’s 10 meters to the right or 10 meters to the left, it doesn’t change much. He’s a professional. He always trained even when he wasn’t playing. During the preparation he didn’t play, he won’t be in top form right away. In a month it will be good.”
