INFO:
Alexis Sánchez is a winger, secondary striker and centre forward, capable of playing as side or attacking midfielder. His career started in 2005 at Cobreloa. He played for Colo-Colo and River Plate before joining Udinese in 2008, spending three seasons and scoring 21 goals in 112 matches. In 2011 he transferred to Barcelona, where he made 141 appearances in three years, scoring 47 times. He had his most prolific seasons at Arsenal, playing 166 games from 2014 to January 2018, scoring 80 goals. After an underwhelming spell at Manchester United, he came back to Italy and signed for Inter in 2019. He scored 20 goals in 109 matches so far. He's Chile top scorer and record man for appearances as he scored 48 goals in 148 caps to date. He won the 2015 and 2016 Copa América, being named best player of the tournament in the latter.
Likely the best Chilean player of contemporary football, Sánchez is extremely fast, agile and hardworking, gifted with excellent tactical awareness, endurance, work rate and fine strength despite his short and thin physique. Particularly versatile and capable with both feet even though he's a natural right-footed, he's incredibly skillful thanks to technical qualities, dribbling, vision, passing abilities and shots from many different positions. In his earlier days at Udinese and Barcelona, he scored in various ways, preferring remarkable shots either well-placed or powerful. He liked challenging the defenders and the goalkeeper with quick feints and turns. He sometimes scored with headers or tap-ins, showing very good reaction in front of the goal. Also an excellent assist-man, he provided most of his assists with accurate short passes but he didn't disdain delivering good crosses every now and then. In the following years, Sánchez improved the frequency of runs towards the goal, scoring numerous times with tap-ins or headers, showing excellent positional sense and, again, timing of reaction. He used the left foot less frequently and mainly for short passes when using the left was the best solution. He also scored more from long range or with volleys and became a free kick specialist. His crossing ability as well improved a lot as he was often in charge of corners or long free kicks to cross the ball in. He likes moving outside the box to look for some space and attempt to shoot or to keep the ball before delivering a pass to an unmarked teammate or to trigger the offense and rush forward to receive the ball back.
