I always wanted to be a footballer; I always wanted to play. I was born to be a footballer.
— Alexis Sanchez
I always want to play and to win because football's my passion; it's my life. That's why, every time we win, I'm really happy.
I never regret my decisions.
As a footballer, everything you've achieved can easily be lost, and then you are nobody. That's just how life is, and that's why you shouldn't let things get you down. That's the reason I treat every match like a final.
Looking at everything I've done in my career as a footballer, at all the titles, I believe that what's hugely important is motivation.
Players sometimes need to feel important and loved by the club.
Since I was a child, I've always been annoyed if I didn't win. If I lost a match, I would be annoyed, and then I would just want to train so that I could win the next day.
I think it was a good choice to go to Arsenal, the best choice. It has been a positive move, and I love it at Arsenal.
I think that if a player wants to be at the very top, he needs to win the Champions League and league titles. That's what makes the great players truly great.
In my case, my life has changed and improved because different things have motivated me. For example, in the beginning, my motivation was to help my family. Later on, my motivation was to be the best.
I played in Spain, and we also had a very good dressing room, and I won a lot of things. So I think that in my experience of being in dressing rooms, it's so important to have a really good group.
I can't be happy with drawing or losing a match. It actually makes me really sad when that happens.
I'm a professional, so any match against Barcelona in the Champions League is special to me.
I don't care if I play on the wing or in the middle. There is no difference.
If a footballer is well motivated and has various things to motivate him every day, he will keep achieving his goals.
I believe that having a family in the dressing room is very important when it comes to winning trophies.
