“It is described as a lion, but it is shown as a lamb”: the furious criticism for Alexis Sánchez from Italy

Inter fell at home to Sassuolo for the A series And not only was he criticized by his fans. The Italian press came out with everything against the Milanese team and pointed directly at Alexis Sanchezwho received harsh questions after being a starter in the last game of the ‘Nerazzurri’.

The Chilean midfielder was one of the most noted after the fall of the team led by Simone Inzaghi. The country’s main newspapers gave him a low rating and showed no mercy, and even some media outlets dared to question his true “ferocity.”

“He gets a chance to start and he blows it like a rookie. The Chilean lion took a long nap and his attitude was apathetic and irritating”, pointed out Corriere della Sera, who gave the Chilean midfielder a 4 mark.

Sanchez “it was not dangerous at all”, also described the Gazzetta dello Sport, which gave a discreet 4.5 to the referent of ‘La Roja’. “It always leaves the impression of the extra touch, useless and harmful. No magic, not even as a free craft flyer to get it done”, argued the newspaper.

But without a doubt the most severe Italian media outlet was ‘Calciomercato’, who mercilessly shot at the former Manchester United and Barcelona player. “He lost his classic ball in midfield and Sassuolo, with Hamed Junior Traorè, did not find the opening of the account at 40 seconds. He doesn’t do anything right, neither as a striker nor as a midfielder. He describes himself as a lion, he shows himself as a little lamb”, he wrote, leaving Sánchez in a bad light.

After not leaving good impressions against Sassuolo, Alexis could have the opportunity to redeem himself next Friday, February 25, when Inter visits Genoa for Serie A. The Lombard team will then face Milan for the Italian Cup semifinals.
