Alexis Sanchez Just Wants To Win – Bellerin

Hector Bellerin has said that Alexis Sanchez’s demanding attitude could be “too much” for his teammates at times, but downplayed talk about a dressing room divide over the Chilean.

“Alexis is an amazing player, for me one of the best players in the Premier League for sure. But he’s a player who always wants to win. He demands from everyone, and sometimes it can be quite too much,” Bellerin responded.

“But the good thing about him, he just wants to win, it doesn’t matter who he’s playing for. At that time when he was playing for Arsenal, he just wanted to give 100 percent for Arsenal.

“It’s true that this season maybe things weren’t going as well for him, but I truly believe that he was giving his 100 percent in every game.”

“I remember even I stayed back, and I was talking to Calum Chambers because there was some tactical stuff that for me was more important to solve than going to celebrate a goal,” Bellerin said. “And then the press comes out and says like, oh the dressing room is divided. And they sold that story.

“It’s just the way it works, but what you see in the papers, they never actually know what’s going on inside. As bad as people think it was, Alexis always wanted what is best for the club and us players wish him all the best.”

“I think it’s so wrong for someone who claims to be a fan and their success is fed off a failure. How can that be a fan? There’s just people hustling, trying to make money their way, which everyone is entitled to do,” Bellerin said.

“But for us players it doesn’t affect us. Listen, if people want to have fun with it, let them have fun. But when you grow you realise what is important to you to listen to.

“If a coach comes to me and says you’ve done something bad I’m going to take that advice. If someone from Arsenal Fan TV says this guy needs to do this or that I’m not going to listen to him.

“But they’re entitled to their opinion and the way they want to do it. If people find it funny, then go watch it.”
