The goal which meant the opening of the Marseille account against Monaco postulates with four others as the most significant of November and December in Ligue 1.
Alexis Sánchez continues to stand out in French football. The Olympique de Marseille player continues to show his talent, playing a key role in attacking plays, providing assists and scoring when he has the chance.
And one of those chances could mean further recognition in Ligue 1. In mid-November, the Marseille team visited Guillermo Maripán’s Monaco and it was the foreign team that ended up taking the points by a tight 2-3.
In the 35th minute of the match, Sánchez prepared to execute a superb free kick which left the rival goalkeeper no chance to react. This great goal meant for the Chilean to enter among those selected to choose the most beautiful goal of November and December 2022 .
His opponents are Kevin Gameiro from Strasbourg with a smooth finish on the goalkeeper’s exit. Also present are Terem Moffi from Lorient, Aleksandr Golovin from Monaco and Rayan Cherki from Lyon.
The French press is surprised
And the appointment of the Chilean is more than deserved, especially since the specialized media in France have highlighted “the jewel of the free kick”.
France TV said that “as usual, Igor Tudor’s men started with their feet on the ground, even if they had to wait until the 35th minute to find fault with a superb free kick from Alexis Sánchez”.
For its part, Eurosport commented at the time that “Sánchez set the example by obtaining a free kick from 20 meters on a foul by Benoît Badiashile before sending the ball into the right corner of Alexander Nübel. ”.
For his part, Le Phocéen writes that the national team was “very active, taking part in the great Marseille occasions at the start of the match, such as his back pass to Gigot in the area, which did not fit. Sign a superb free kick in the 35th minute, full of skylight at 20 meters. A lot of activity and desire, in addition to the jewel of a free kick ”.
“As usual, Alexis Sánchez ran, many times with intelligence, without hesitating to pick up to touch the leather. However, the Chilean might find himself frustrated with the fact that he is very rarely followed by his teammates in the zone of truth. A parameter from which he knew how to detach himself, transforming a free kick which he had obtained himself (35 ‘) . Much more neutral in the second act, he also ended up with a yellow card, ”said Footmercato.
Finally, L’Equipe specifies that “Alexis Sánchez ended two months of personal shortage in Ligue 1 with a sublime free kick at the Louis-II stadium (35th). The Chilean, who had not scored from a direct free kick since April 17, 2017 (with Arsenal against Middlesbrough), rolled his right ball hard 20 meters from Nübel’s goal, defenseless.
