ALEXIS SANCHEZ: Arsenal Style Suits Me Better Than Barcelona

Alexis Sanchez believes the style of football Arsenal play suits his game more than former club Barcelona.The Chilean is enjoying a wonderful debut campaign in the Premier League, and has averaged a goal every game in his last eight Gunners outings.

Speaking to the Times, the man who left Spanish giants Barcelona to join his new club confessed that he was forced to sacrifice a lot in order "to adapt to playing the Barcelona way."

Sanchez has very quickly established himself as the player Arsenal and Arsene Wenger depend on for inspiration in the face of mediocrity.

A closely contested midweek tussle with Southampton appeared destined to end goalless until the relentless forward popped up with a late winner, and he admits that more of a direct approach in England compliments his attributes.

“The first year [at Barcelona] was okay and then the second year I was better, but I needed time," he continued.

"Arsenal play beautiful football, but Barcelona play in a way that no other team in the world does. English football is more direct, more end to end, but I like that. It suits the way I want to play."
