If we talk for example of the play, as has been told SPORT, it is true that Alexis had one when I was playing for Udinese, but used it so little that when he moved to Barcelona decided to give it to a friend. So now, Alexis Sánchez has no play at home in Barcelona.

Further, at least, Alexis has two meals with the other players either in the Ciutat Esportiva or Camp Nou. But your diet is not true that now vary on the issue of injuries.
