Alexis Sanchez believes Arsenal have the quality stars necessary to win any trophy they compete for, should the club re-establish a winning mentality. The form of Alexis, signed from Barcelona in the summer for £32 million, has been one of the few positives in an otherwise inconsistent opening to the season by Arsene Wengers side, who sit 12 points adrift of Premier League leaders Chelsea. He scored his 12th goal for the club at Swansea on Sunday, when Arsenal again failed to hold onto a lead and were beaten 2-1, having previously thrown away a 3-0 advantage in the Champions League tie against Anderlecht to draw 3-3. Wengers tinkering has affected Arsenal Tomas Rosicky believes Arsenal have struggled this season because Arsene Wenger is still searching for the ideal system for his team. Read the full article here Alexis, though, remains upbeat over his decision to leave Spain for England. Now that I am here, sometimes I stop to look at my team-mates during the training session and I realise that I am surrounded by a lot of quality stars, he told Chile AS. I have been impressed by their attitude and their talent. I love how they create spaces, their individual and collective movements. I tell you seriously: I like what I see so much that I have repeated myself many times, that if we have the required winning mentality, if we are positive and try to win every single game, I know we can win any competition. I know that with this team we can win many trophies in the coming years. I am convinced. I hope to win everything here. Thats why I came. While Alexis concedes the Premier League is the most complicated football and not easy, he insists he likes the challenge. And despite seemingly needing little time to adapt to English football, Sanchez still feels he needs to improve his cohesion with his team-mates. Little by little I am gaining confidence in my team- mates and am gradually learning more, he said. At first I had trouble understanding them, knowing where they ran, their movements, what gestures meant what, but every time I feel more confident. I am starting to memorise the moves of my team- mates and I learn to help them. Clearly I need to improve and that is what I say in the dressing room, that I could stay a little less with the ball, play one touch play more often to facilitate counter- attacks - that is vital. I must learn that because the rapid transitions are key in this league and with this team. - #jay
