&lt;p&gt;Thirteen years after leaving Friuli, Alexis Sánchez returns to Udine, the city that welcomed him into European football at just 19 years old, helping him to grow and transform into an international talent capable of achieving success in the top European leagues.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The young Alexis`s career began in South American football and progressed quickly: after taking his first steps with &lt;strong&gt;Cobreloa &lt;/strong&gt;in Chile, Sánchez moved to &lt;strong&gt;Colo-Colo&lt;/strong&gt;, based in the capital Santiago, and then to &lt;strong&gt;River Plate&lt;/strong&gt; in Argentina. With the &#34;&lt;strong&gt;Millonarios&lt;/strong&gt;,&#34; he scores 4 goals and wins the Clausura championship, showcasing a repertoire of tricks and skills that capture the imagination of &lt;strong&gt;Udinese&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the summer of 2008, Sánchez arrived at the Pozzo family`s club, a team with ambitions for a high league finish. In his first year, the Chilean played 43 times across the league, Coppa Italia, and UEFA Cup, recording &lt;strong&gt;3 goals&lt;/strong&gt; and as many assists. His impact on Italian football was positive. Sánchez was used by coach Pasquale Marino as a right winger in a three-man attack alongside &lt;strong&gt;Pepe &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Quagliarella&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In his second year in Friuli, however, the Bianconeri finished the season in fifteenth place. Despite this, Alexis`s numbers improved with &lt;strong&gt;6 goals and 6 assists &lt;/strong&gt;in 36 appearances, a sign of his imminent breakthrough.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the following season, Udinese brought in &lt;strong&gt;Guidolin &lt;/strong&gt;as coach. The start was challenging, with four consecutive defeats in the early matchdays. However, after a change in formation to a 3-5-2, the team found its rhythm. Alexis Sánchez, in particular, transformed into a &lt;strong&gt;partner for Antonio Di Natale &lt;/strong&gt;in the attack, and his performance was sensational. Udinese soared thanks to Sánchez`s playmaking and Di Natale`s prolific goalscoring. With eight matches remaining, the Bianconeri found themselves in the Champions League zone, just 6 points behind the leaders, eventually finishing fourth in Serie A, securing a place in the Champions League qualifiers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alexis enjoyed a dream season, achieving a personal record of &lt;strong&gt;12 goals and 10 assists&lt;/strong&gt; in the league over 31 matches, highlighted by crucial goals against Napoli, Juventus, and AC Milan. The pinnacle of his time in Friuli was undoubtedly his &lt;strong&gt;four-goal haul&lt;/strong&gt; against &lt;strong&gt;Palermo &lt;/strong&gt;in the historic 7-0 BianconerI victory at the Favorita.&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;9d876bd3-e379-4b54-b123-b38a7dda3f8d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9d876bd3-e379-4b54-b123-b38a7dda3f8d&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/f0f0845e-6209-43d5-9160-bd153b09851e/Sito_HERO_sanchez_udi.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;9d876bd3-e379-4b54-b123-b38a7dda3f8d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9d876bd3-e379-4b54-b123-b38a7dda3f8d&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 2010-11 season revealed Sánchez`s true value, and by the end of the year, a move to an elite club was imminent.
