Alexis Alejandro Sánchez Sánchez, Born 19th December 1988, Tocopilla, Chile.
During the last eighteen months, one of the most puzzling changes of fortune among top-class professional football players, is the form of Chilean international Alexis Sanchez. Arguably the finest Chilean player of his generation, in 2011, he became the country’s most expensive player, transferring for €30m, from Udinese in the Italian Serie A, to Spanish giants Barcelona, where he scored 47 goals, in 141 appearances.
The arrival at Barcelona, of Brazilian superstar Neymar, prior to the start of the 2013-14 season, made regular appearances for Alexis, less guaranteed. A year later, he left Barcelona, for London club, Arsenal.
By January 2018, when he signed for Manchester United, he had scored 80 goals, in 166 appearances, during which time he established himself, as Arsenal’s top player. Perhaps the greatest moment of his career, was leading Chile, to the 2015 Copa America title, Chile’s first major title.
In January 2018, despite having just turned 29 years of age, he signed for Manchester United. Expectation was that, he could provide the team, still struggling, after the retirement, of legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, with, much-needed inspiration.
As I write, with one match of the 2018-19 season remaining, the statistic of 5 goals in 45 appearances, falls well short, of the outcome both Alexis and his illustrious employers would have anticipated. Nobody knew why this happened.
Due to lack of a birthtime, we speculated on noon.
We found that there were 4 ☽MOON PARANS, within range of Manchester. One of ☽MOON ♄SATURN, ☽MOON ♅URANUS, ☽MOON ♆NEPTUNE, would have been bad enough, but the 3, coming immediately after such success in London, would have made life unbearable. None of these PARANS were present for him in London, or as far as we know, never before his ‘home’ latitude. All previous astrological environments, were for him, more favourable.
The question is, if Alexis, and or, Manchester United, had been in possession of this knowledge, in January 2018, would they have made a deal?
