Sanchez said he was always happy when playing for his country, in what may be perceived as a subtle dig at Man United. The Chilean picked up a knock on his ankle midway through the Copa America match against Ecuador, but carried on for the rest of the game. When asked about it afterwards, he said he carried on because he loves playing for his country. He subsequently scored the match-winning goal in the 51st minute.
