'Behind every footballer there is a lost youth', says Sanchez

Although he didn't quite jell with the team at Barcelona, regardless of his promising statistics, the Chilean footballer is considered one of the best players in the Premier League and a star in South America.

The forward has wanted to remember everything that he has fought for to be where he is today and has uploaded an emotive message on Instagram talking about all the suffering he has had to go though to become one of the best strikers in the world.

"Nobody know the sacrifice that it means, behind a footballer there is a lost youth for a dream that sometimes its difficult to reach, there are some times to stay with your family, outing with friends that you have to lose for a dream.

"Sometimes things go wrong and you have the rejection of an entire society but you have to carry on. It is not just run behind a ball. 

"It is a dream that I have from my childhood and it makes me very happy."

Nadie sabe el sacrificio que esto implica , detrás de un jugador de fútbol hay una juventud pérdida detrás de un sueño que aveces resulta difícil de alcanzar , hay momentos en familia , salidas con amigos que se deben perder todo por un sueño . Algunas veces las cosas no se dan y tienes el rechazo de toda una sociedad pero hay que levantar la cabeza y salir adelante . No es correr detrás de una pelota . Es un sueño que sigo manteniendo desde pequeño y que me hace súper feliz .⚽️ Nobody know the sacrifice that it means, behind a footballer there is a lost youth for a dream that sometimes its difficult to reach, there are some times to stay with your family, outing with friends that you have to lose for a dream.
