but preferrs life in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
Reflecting on his time spent in Italian Serie A, Sanchez remarked on the defensive approach on the footballing pitch. He added that the defenders are always on the heels of players and getting away with chances is harder in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926.
"The style in Italy is more defensive. When I received the ball I’d have three men marking me, the defence was closer," Sanchez was quoted as saying on Barcelona's official website.
"It’s a little like how everyone plays their games against Barca here, but playing here is a beautiful thing for a footballer."
Sanchez also shed light on the transfer saga that brought him to the Camp Nou. The energetic winger stated that he was over the moon when interest from the European champions came but did not get over-excited due to the nature of the sport.
The Tacopilla native added that he was not sure about the transfer until the contract was signed.
"I didn’t want to get too excited, because they always tell you that it’s going to happen and in the end it doesn’t work out. I wasn’t calm about it until I signed the contract, and while I was signing I wasn’t aware that I actually became a Barca player.
It hit me when I played my first game."
Sanchez has adjusted to life in Catalonia and finds himself as an integral part of Pep Guardiola’s first team. He has shown his big game genius in a short time period, being at the centre of proceedings as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 triumphed over arch-rivals Real Madrid
in El Clasico meetings.
Since his arrival, the diminutive attacker has hit the back of the net 11 times in 24 matches while also laying down the ball for his teammates on 3 occasions.
