“I would also like to clarify certain subjects and say that for my part, I always wanted to stay in Marseille. That’s what I always wanted, but it wasn’t just up to me. It always takes two to agree. This time, the technical management had made other choices, but I respect them. » On August 25, Alexis Sanchez gave his version of the facts regarding the end of his adventure at OM, where he had reached the end of his contract after a successful season on a personal level.
In the absence of an extension, he signed, free, for Inter Milan, the club he had left for Marseille, and where a replacement place awaited him. He could have led the Olympian attack for one more season, but here he is confined to the bench in Italy. Finally, he had to wait until September to appear on the field, since he was first injured, which slightly annoyed the management of the Lombard club. Since then, there have been 3 appearances, one in the Champions League and two in Serie A, for an overall disappointing result.
Expected at the turn by the Italian press
The Italian press appreciated his appearance against Real Sociedad, much less that against Sassuolo, the first defeat of the season in the league. This meeting above all proved that Inter needed to breathe some fresh air into their captain and main offensive threat, Lautaro Martinez. Established since the start of the season, the Argentinian is tiring, while Marcus Thuram was able to get a little rest, with the appearance of Arnautovic. But the latter was injured, and here is Simone Inzaghi with only Alexis Sanchez as an alternative.
The 34-year-old Chilean is therefore expected to travel to Salernitana tomorrow, where he is announced as a starter alongside Marcus Thuram. A real test for him, when he is accused of his irregularity in the Inter jersey. Can he be a reliable alternative this season? Can he find complicity with Marcus Thuram? So impactful at OM last season, Alexis Sanchez is once again playing second fiddle at Inter, not without pressure.
