Sanchez has to show bright side

ARSENE WENGER has urged Alexis Sanchez to show a “lucid rage” after his Arsenal meltdown.

The Gunners boss made it clear he wants a response from all his players to save Arsenal from further Champions League humiliation against Bayern Munich.

Sanchez was dropped at Liverpool on Saturday after a series of trainingground rows. But Wenger cleared the way for him to be recalled with Arsenal already trailing 5-1 from the first leg.

But Wenger warned the players, including the fiery Chile striker, must be focused as well as determined at the Emirates. He said: “What you expect is you go out there with lucid rage.

“Total commitment but not a silly one because in our game you always need to make intelligent decisions, to make the optimal decision and for that you need a good combination of commitment but as well I think to keep your vision.”

Wenger insisted there was no problem with Sanchez but admitted that sometimes he shows “excessive commitment”.

He added: “It’s always interpreted he’s not happy but it could be interpreted as well that he wants everyone to be with him.

“When it doesn’t go well these things are interpreted negatively.”

PSG are leading the chase to sign Sanchez this summer amid the Arsenal forward’s contract stand-off, with the Gunners insisting they will not sell to an English rival.
