Villarreal striker Ben Brereton-Diaz is proud to be playing with Alexis Sanchez for Chile.

Brereton-Diaz admits he looked up to the Inter Milan veteran when growing up in England.

He said, "It's fantastic. For many years he was an incredible footballer."

"When I was younger I watched him play in the Premier League with Arsenal and Manchester United and he was a role model for myself. And what he did for Chile for many years was exceptional.

He is a role model for everyone in the Chilean team and an idol in all of Chile.

"It's great to play alongside him and he's also a good person."
