Igor Tudor added that the Chilean national team “is the type of player who arrives two hours before training and leaves two hours later”. By the way, he confirmed him as the holder for this Wednesday’s duel against Nantes.
The duel between Olympique de Marseille and Monaco was played out last Saturday (1-1), but Alexis Sánchez’s fine performance is still being talked about in France.
And this time it was his coach, Igor Tudor, who raised his voice to highlight the Chilean striker. “It was one of his best games,” he explained when asked about the Tocopillano goal and the constant struggle he showed to keep the three points.
Then he added that he was not surprised the Reds striker showed that spirit on the pitch because “he is one of those players who manages to work harder in important games”. And to top off his praise, Tudor confided an exhilarating secret: “You have to know how to go about training. He always wants to do more, work more. He’s the kind of player who arrives two hours before training and leaves two hours later. He is a good example for his teammates,” he revealed.
Alexis will start the day this Wednesday, on his eleventh visit to Nantes (3 p.m.) and will try to shorten the distance he has with Ligue 1 leaders PSG of Lionel Messi, who will play two hours later with Montpellier.

Of course, the words of the Croatian strategist are not surprising, since last weekend he had upsetting concepts for the player trained in Cobreloa. “He’s a golden boy, with a big heart and a sense of responsibility. He wants to change the course of matches and help the team. We know his career and this match is nothing more than a confirmation of his talent,” Tudor said on this occasion.
Applause also came from the stands, where a Marseille legend, Sonny Anderson, explained that “personally I love this player, he’s a fighter, he always has chances to score and to add that “I am always attached to the attackers and I really like the work that Alexis Sánchez does”.
Anderson expressed his confidence in the Golden Generation member and stressed that he must have the support of his peers. “With the dynamics of the team, I think Alexis will continue to do great things in Marseille,” he concluded.
