Sanchez a slow starter - Wenger

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Alexis Sanchez
is a slow starter but has hailed the Chile
international's ability to make the difference.
The 28-year-old was his side's hero in the 2-1 FA
Cup win over Manchester City at the weekend,
scoring the winner in extra time to fire Arsenal into
the final.
Sanchez's goal against City saw him take his tally
for 2016-17 to 24 goals in all competitions but
Wenger concedes his star man can take a while to
get going.
"It is strange because I feel that he always grows
during the game," Wenger said at a media
conference.
"The difficulty of the game always makes him more
focused. He starts sometimes and has problems to
get into the game and during the game he
becomes stronger and stronger and more
determined.
"I think he adapts to the difficulty. He tests and he
finds the way himself during the game to become
dangerous.
"He has been remarkably efficient. I felt that he had
a very good spell when he played up front. When
he plays on the flank, he is more a provider than a
goalscorer. At the moment he plays in a mixed role
between the flank and the middle.
"He can always turn up with something special in
the game. He has the individual quality to make
the difference."
