http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979. It is reckoned that the Bianconeri acquired the winger as a possible replacement of Sanchez, who left the team during the summer
transfer window to join the European Champions, Barcelona FC.
The ‘Romanian Messi’ admitted recently that he is feeling the pressure of the comparisons and is looking forward to give his best in order to live up to the Zebrette expectations. The 21-year-old, wearing the no.19 jersey at Stadio Friuli, arrives at the
club for an undisclosed fee rumoured to be in the region of 7 million Euros.
The winger was recently talking to the media where he hailed Sanchez as a great player and said that there was no comparison between the two. Moreover, the Romanian international expressed his pleasure to have the opportunity to play alongside the talismanic

“I joined Udinese because this team is strong, and one I admired watching last season. I do not have to prove anything, I am not Sanchez. The Chilean was a wonderful talent who was able to join an even stronger team in Barcelona. I have to respond with performances
on the pitch, not words. But I already feel under pressure. However, for me, it will be an honour to play next to Di Natale,” said the attacking midfielder.
Torje also hinted towards the role that he might be playing for Udinese in the upcoming 2011/12 season and said:
“I'm a playmaker that can play on the right or left, or as a central point of attack. I can score goals, but am also an athlete and equally capable of providing assists.”
Udinese finished fourth last term earning themselves a place in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, but the team failed to stay in the European race and had to settle for Europa League. It is said that losing Sanchez might also cost the Bianconeri their
position in the Italian Serie A and they will drop down the rankings.
