‘Alexis Sánchez was not an impostor’: in France they highlight the Chilean’s contribution to Marseille

Alexis Sánchez performed well with Olympique de Marseille last weekend. The team managed by Igor Tudor managed to beat Lorient 3-1 in Ligue 1. In this game, the national team scored again for his team to make it 2-1.

This action was used by the Foot01 site to make a specific analysis of the contribution of tocopillano to OM. “Alexis Sánchez was not an impostor “, they titled the note in which they review the present and reflect on the future of the Marseille striker.

“Saturday against Lorient, Alexis Sánchez found the net with a superb shot in the skylight. The Chilean has decent stats but, calm down OM, these are not numbers for a pre-retiree “, they argue.

“With 6 goals in 16 league matches, we can’t say that Alexis Sánchez breaks everything in his path. However, as the newspaper L’Equipe reminds us, the Chilean is already doing better than last season at Inter Milan “, They continue.

“Thus, he had scored 5 times in 27 Serie A games. To this total we can add his 2 goals in the Champions League as well as the one scored against Hyères in the Coupe de France “, they add.

For all this they conclude that “Sánchez is back on the scoreboard and doing a decent exercise. We are already far from the rumors of a demotivated and almost retired player from La Canebière ”.

They also imply that Sánchez could be here for another season at the club. “The Chilean can expect a decent tally of goals for his season at Marseille, maybe not his last. However, we believe that with another striker to back him up, the generous 34-year-old could still improve his pace to put OM as high in the table as possible.”

After the last match, the specialized press also shared good impressions of Alexis Sánchez during the 76 minutes spent on the pitch. Thus, L’Equipe pointed out that “Against Lorient, Alexis Sánchez found his way back to goal. The Chilean striker, who had not scored for two months, scored a superb goal ”.

“Alexis Sánchez has started to make up for lost time. He had been dry for three games in Ligue 1, the Chilean had not scored since the duel with Monaco on November 13. Two months later, he finally found his way back to the networks,” they added.

For its part, Footmercato said that Sánchez “shows unfailing generosity and is rewarded with his sixth Ligue 1 goal ″.

“He was alone in the first half and had to settle for staying in the air, the former Inter Milan player came back from the locker room in style by performing a spontaneous left-footed sequence. His position was invaluable in Marseille’s long possessions “, they completed.

Finally, Cœur Marseillais praised the attitude of La Roja’s top scorer and awarded him a 6: “Sánchez gave himself with great enthusiasm as always. If you don’t score, your work is outstanding. The Chilean scores the second goal with a good shot on goal”.
