Alexis Sanchez got another chance from the start in Parma – and took it! The Chilean put together a brace within eight minutes after the break and almost single-handedly led his team to a 2-1 victory at Parma Calcio. “It was a tough game because Parma did it well. But we did well too. We’re fighting for Scudetto and we’re on the right track,” said the double at Sky Sport Italia.
For Sanchez, who joined Inter from Manchester United in August 2019, it was the Italians’ first brace. And promptly there was special praise from coach Antonio Conte: “As I said, he’s in the best shape we’ve ever seen him here. We are patient with him. He knows full well that only hard work can get him to a good level. Now Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez know that he is close behind. ”
And that is exactly the problem with Sanchez: He has two absolutely top people in front of him. Lukaku has already scored 18 times this season and is right behind Cristiano Ronaldo (20 goals) on the scorers list. Martinez is also playing a great season and has scored 13 goals this season so far. This means that the Chilean often only has one place on the bench, in only nine of his 18 league games he was in the starting line-up. “I’m a player with a lot of experience, the coach trusts me and I’m happy. I always want to play,” said the offensive man.
Sanchez: “I love this sport”
But of course he hopes for even more working time and always wants to be part of the permanent staff. “I feel like a caged lion – and the more I play, the better I feel. That has always been the case since I started playing football,” said Sanchez, adding: “I love this sport. I love being To play football.”
Inter on the way to Scudetto
A third top attacker alongside Lukaku and Martinez is of course another trump card for Inter in the battle for the championship. Thanks to the latest three-point, leaders Inter now have six points more than city rivals and pursuers Milan on the account. So it looks very good for the Conte protégés. “We have a good atmosphere. We have to concentrate on ourselves and continue on this path. Since we lost the Europa League final (2: 3 against Sevilla in August), the team has changed so much improved. We’re taking the steps we need to be a winning team, “said Sanchez.
