Arsene Wenger: Europe lacks Alexis Sanchez 'street fighters'
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes the decline of street football means Europe struggles to produce top quality forwards like Chile's Alexis Sanchez.
Wenger, 65, says society in Europe has become "softer" compared to Latin America and produces different players.
Sanchez, 25, has scored eight goals in 15 appearances since joining Arsenal.
"When football is more formalised, it's less about developing your individual skill and fighting attitude. We've lost that a bit," Wenger said.
"Maybe it's because in Europe street football has gone. If you go back 30 or 40 years in England, life was tougher."
