G. Neville: "Liverpool" had to acquire Sanchez

Former "Manchester United" defender Gary Neville believes that London's "Arsenal" star Alexis Sanchez would have been a great replacement for Liverpool's Luis Suarez. "Barcelona" sold the Chilean for 40 million euros to the "Gunners" in order to make room for the leader of the Uruguayan national team. They paid 86 million euros for the latter. Since arriving in England, Sanchez has been shining and already has 14 goals to his name. Neville says that this player would have truly softened the blow of Suarez's departure for the Merseyside team, which is unrecognizable without their leader. "Sanchez would have been an ideal replacement for Luis Suarez. Goals, determination, pressure on defenders... When he loses the ball – he always runs back to regain possession," the Englishman told Sky Sports. "He would have been a truly perfect replacement. Of course, one could argue that he doesn't deserve as many goals as Suarez, but he has everything that Liverpool needs after losing the Uruguayan." "This is a real disappointment for Liverpool, but a big win for Arsenal."
