Whining in the media because you’re not a starter is never going to be OK, but I think it’s just his (wrong) way to show his motivation. I like him being uncomfortable a las a sub, I like him wanting to play always. Ter Stegen did alot of whining and threatening to leave when Bravo was a the...

Classic Messi, just like when he quit the NT after losing the Copa in 2015. He likes giving something to the media to fight over and keep the light off his failures with his NT. 4 finals losts, he must be losing his mind. Brazil were vastly superior to argentina, a penalty wouldnt have changed...

Big end of the season from Vidal, great assist today. I hope he stays in the starting 11 next season, his quality tackles and stamina are something no other player adds.

MOTM so far, vamos Arturo!!

Vidal has scored tons of goals in his career, in Juve he was the top goal scorer one season.

Sounds reasonable, but when Vidal arrived at Juve from Leverkusen they hadnt won the league in a while and were just coming up from Serie B. Their big current winning streak started with Vidal, he was their best player for a couple of years in a row.

It does sound strange. Maybe he wasnt happy with what he was making and the club agreed to a raise and asked him for another year? He’s a Superhuman physycally, I think he’ll be fine at 35. And definitely adds something to the midfield that the others dont.

🤣

Vidal has played as LB, CD, líbero, RM, CM and AM. I don’t see him as RB, but he’d probably be OK. I prefer him in midfield though, he’s too good to just defend at the back.

Couldnt watch it, only saw the assist. How did he play?

I thought he was really good today, unlucky not to get his goal. Was great recovering balls as well.

Vidal was bought even though his game is not that of a Barça DNA, unlike Arthur. His aggresiveness to recover the ball, his header, his verticality and his winning mentality are what make him a great player. Do we expect him to adapt to a tiki taka system? Or do we adapt the team to his...

Such a beast. Never doubted his success at the club.

Good to see he's performing. Remember his first seasons here? He couldn't stop fucking up. Brain fart MATS has finally started maturing. I don't think he'll play starter for Germany next euro, but definitely next WC he should be in the starting 11.

1. I haven't followed Rakitic as much as Vidal. I can say that peak Vidal, which was probably 2013-2014, was ridiculous. I think it was during that season that he was Juve's top goal scorer, player with most assists and player with most ball recoveries. I believe they're a bit different, Vidal...
