Arsene Wenger, meanwhile, has recently claimed that South America is producing more top forwards than Europe, having signed Sanchez last summer, and targeted both Suarez and Gonzalo Higuain in 2013.
“Look across Europe, and where are the strikers from? Many of them … are from South America,” Wenger said last year. “Maybe it’s because in Europe, street football has gone. In street football, when you’re 10 years old, you want to play with 15-year-olds. Then you have to prove you’re good, you have to fight and win impossible balls. When it’s all a bit more formalised, it’s less about developing your individual skill and fighting attitude. [European countries] have lost that a bit.”
Aguero and Sanchez fit neatly into his categorisation. They might be brilliantly gifted technicians, but they’re fighters, too.
