The national striker was a starter and present until the 75th minute in Olympique de Marseille’s 2-0 victory over Troyes.
Alexis Sánchez’s Olympique de Marseille have won another victory in the French league after beating Troyes 0-2 for the 18th day of the championship. In this duel, the Tocopillano started again and played 75 minutes.
In the game, the national had no major scoring chances. This can be influenced by the tactical system proposed by coach Igor Tudor, who has the Chilean as a reference in the box, but his teammates cannot offer him balls in space.
For the same reason, the French press criticized the striker’s performance. Maxifoot said that “at the tip, he was still admirable in his effort . With his enormous pressing, the Chilean clearly helped his midfielders to dominate the midfield debates. On the other hand when we approached the area it was just indicated it was never really dangerous “, they exposed. They also gave it a rating of 5.5 on a scale with a maximum of 10.
In turn, the Coeur Marseillais media rated it with a four, justifying the rating, because “the Chilean was very discreet throughout the match apart from two or three actions ”.
Eventually, 90min brought up the idea of giving him a partner to develop the attacking plays. “Alexis Sánchez doesn’t have many balls in the box but he impresses with his orientation and his play behind goal. Another frustrating game for him and you could say he’s almost fed up. A reinforcement in attack would not hurt… they wrote of the player who received a four.
