Former Barcelona defender Ronald Koeman expressed that Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez proved to be a very successful signing for the Catalans.
The retired veteran expressed how Sanchez’s arrival has given the Catalan squad a boost while stating that the forward is massively talented on the ball.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 manager was no short of praise for the 23-year-old and commented that Pep Guardiola did the right thing to lure Sanchez to the Catalan capital.
Alexis Sanchez joined Barcelona in the summer transfer window prior to the start of the current season. His previous club was Italian Serie A outfit, Udinese, and the forward reportedly cost Barca 26 million Euros.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chile-c2871 International had no trouble settling down with his new club and has managed to make a positive impact on the Camp Nou-based outfit. With 13 appearances in the league for the current Spanish Champions, Sanchez appears to have become an integral
part of the Barca line-up.
The former Udinese star scored two impeccable goals during Barcelona’s visit to BayArena when Pep Guardiola’s men faced Bayer Leverkusen. The youngster’s performance in the midweek Champions League clash was remarkable and received praise from many.
Ronald Koeman emphasized that Sanchez has a number of notable qualities.
While talking to Sport, the 48-year-old said:
“I did not know much of him, because I didn't see him often at Udinese last year. He has pleasantly surprise me, though. Alexis is the perfect player for Barcelona. He has adapted very well to Barcelona's style of play and fits in perfectly. He offers a
lot of variation to Barca's game.”
He really gives the team something extra with his pace, close control and good runs. He has different qualities than the other players at Barcelona, and that's a great thing for a coach."
