i think the sooner we realise alexis sanchez is not a goalscorer the easier it is to appreciate the hard work and assisting goals he actually provides. chile lost against peru 1-0 a couple of days ago in a match that was obviously rigged, 2 clear penaties not given, alexis sanchez in that game played so confidently, his passes were slick and amazingly accurate, his trapping of the ball was sumblime, his dribbling was spot on, he is much better being a provider than a scorer, i posted before commentating on how i watched sanchez in his udinese days and what amazed me the most was not his great dribbles but his passes and ability to pick out a pass even with his back turned, his link up play with isla and di natale back in udinese was breathtaking to watch. this season he has contributed to 9 assists with only 4 goals. the fact of the matter he plays most comfortably making passes and assisting instead of scoring. here is a clip of some of his passes in the peru match, it matched messi/iniestas pass range. and this is only a couple of his highlights from the first half! appreciatate sanchez as a provider not a scorer, dont worry about sanchez not scoring, we have villa and messi for that, sanchez can provide the assists or hold up the ball for the others, plus he always leaves the opposional defenders on their toes and drags them away.

Excellent clip.
.At least in Inter he will be given more space to explode, that's surely.
