The Copa America is getting more interesting with each day gone by. While so much headlines have been made about Messi's misfortune with the National team, Neymar has not been spared either. The PSG most expensive player have been making the headlines of recent for the bad and pathetic reasons.
With an injury, he has missed out from Tite's squad and his Brazilian captaincy taken away from him. But 'am not here to talk about neither of the above mentioned players, am here to discuss a little about Alexis Sanchez. You're free to join in the conversation.
We've already seen players like Philippe Coutinho being at their best since putting on their national team Jersey. The past season have seen players like him come under serious criticisms from the fans for not performing up to expectations.
The Chilean Striker and former Barcelona player is witnessing one of his worst moments in club football at Old Trafford. While many have been trying to ponder on the possible cause of Alexis' decline after leaving Arsenal to Old Trafford, others are of the view that the former Arsenal man is a bad investment for United.
It's been a terrible 2018/2019 premier league season for the 30 year old at Manchester United, having been able to find the net just twice in all competitions for his new employers. With the 2008 champions league winners ignominiously finishing 6th on the table, Alexis has come under heavy vituperation from both fans and analysts.
However, the former Arsenal man is making waves at the ongoing Copa America in Brazil, of course, tacitly sending a message that he is still a force to reckon with. The pacy forward netted hid second Copa goal against 10 men Ecuador as Chile registered a 2-1 victory over their rivals. It was his 51th minute goal that secured Reinaldo's team a spot at the knockout stage.
It makes me wonder whether the United team is the reason why the Chilean has lost his form or he needs more affection and better care from the Manchester United coaching crew. Thus, after yesterday's game with Ecuador, the Chilean coach minced no words in throwing his weight behind the 30 year old. He said, "He has the motivation, affection and some relationships that he has in the national team and maybe he didn't have them in Manchester, He arrived at a difficult, inopportune moment, perhaps in the most unbalanced United in recent years."
What's your take on this, you think Alexis Sanchez is not being treated at Old Trafford as asserted by his National team coach? Lemme hear your opinion via the comment session.
