Alexis Sanchez: The Beautiful Game: Poetry in Motion

By Thomas Jerome Baker

The Beautiful Game... Alexis Sanchez, the electrifying and marvelous "Boy Wonder" from Chile, plays football with a grace and style that is magesterial, magnificent, and magical. He is pure poetry in motion. Follow his meteoric rise to stardom with Spain's most successful team of the past decade, FC Barcelona. In his final season with Barcelona, he scored 21 goals. In the World Cup he scored two goals for Chile. In signing Sanchez, Arsenal Football Club has definitely acquired one of the most exciting young players in the game today. Early in the 2014-2015 season, he has already delighted Arsenal fans with his dazzling play on the pitch, and most importantly, scored goals in all competitions he has played in: 1) The Champios League, 2) The Premier League, and 3) A fantastic free-kick goal against Southampton in the Capital One Cup. Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster had absolutely no chance to save it. He didn't even dive, and instead just watched the ball sail into the net. This is the type of goal Arsenal fans were dreaming about when the club spent ?32 million on Chilean star Alexis S?nchez before the season started.
