Alexis Sanchez finds the light

For a few matches, especially since the resumption of football in France after the Christmas holidays, we had found that Alexis Sanchez was tense. However, just before the truce linked to the World Cup, the Chilean had scored a sublime free kick during the completely stunning victory of Olympique de Marseille at the Stade Louis II against AS Monaco.

Against Toulouse, the former striker of Inter Milan and Arsenal had not found the fault when the nets had shaken six times. He even disputed a penalty, which was finally transformed by the Turkish Cengiz Ünder. But, we cannot sum up Alexis Sanchez to goals. This Saturday evening, against Lorient at the Orange Vélodrome, he multiplied the calls and the duels, gradually using the Breton defenders.

Of course, he also found the net in Ligue 1. His goal is as beautiful as his talent is great. On a cross back, he recovers the leather and on a step or almost, in half a second, he gave the advantage to OM. And finally, it was precisely this goal that freed his teammates and allowed Igor Tudor to win three goals to one.

” Yes clearly, it is important (his goal, editor’s note) because it is the 2-1 goal. The team still wants to move forward. This position in which I play is not obvious, back to the game, I have to sacrifice myself for the team. It’s a new way of playing for me but I’m very happy to have scored this goal. The city is very pretty. The audience is wonderful. Whether we’re at home or away, it’s always like that. I think we have a great team in my opinion and we have to continue like this “, moreover rejoiced the Chilean at the microphone of Prime.

Igor Tudor was also happy that his player found his way back to the nets: “ I think what he missed was scoring. This does not prevent good performances, in the movements. He also makes assists. All strikers live to score. Tonight, he scored a very nice goal that he can afford because he is an exceptional player. “. A goal to revive. OM will also need him to snatch second place since the Phocaeans do not intend to recruit a scorer. A goal that is worth more than that, therefore.
