Double scorer in Clermont (2-0) on Saturday, the Chilean international continues to shine at Olympique de Marseille.
Alexis Sanchez (34 years old, 20 games and 9 goals in L1 this season) has a string of goals and good performances for Olympique de Marseille. Yet skeptical when he arrived last summer with the Phocaeans, Thierry Henry said he was impressed by the Chilean.
“I saw him at Arsenal, he made me dream as a supporter,” said the former French striker on Prime Video. “He went to clubs, I always liked his desire, his pressing… Afterwards, we know he has the quality. But when I saw him at Inter, I said to myself: ‘ah , he begins to feel the blow all the same.’ There in Marseille, I know that the team is going forward, that it’s a little easier when everyone is close to go and press, but what he does alone up front: running, talking to the guys. ..”
“I was lucky enough to see him in training. The day after the match, the guy goes on the mat to do sprints. That’s an example, and not just on the pitch. When you have a guy like that which has won practically everything, and you see him behaving like that, these are examples that you are obliged to follow. That’s why he is important for this team”, concluded the consultant.
