I think we have more desire to achieve something big “ by winning the Premier League."
Speaking on teammate Ozil, Sanchez added that their relationship is key to his performances on the pitch.
He said:I get on with all my team-mates on the pitch but best of all with Ozil.I really enjoy playing with him. We don't need to say anything during a game.It just takes a glance from one of us to play a one-two or a pass.
Having Ozil in midfield is just fantastic because he's top quality and that helps me improve.�
Sanchez, who scored twice against the Cherries,also had his say on his positional switch this season, from playing predominantly as a winger to becoming Arsenal's main striker.
The boss told me I'd be playing as a the striker and I'm gradually getting used to it. I feel more comfortable there because I get more time on the ball," he added.
In general I am happy “ more with how we've been playing as a team than with my own personal goals.�
The draw for next summer'sConfederations Cup is likely to see Sanchez and Ozilface off against each other, with Germany and Chile drawn in the same group.
