Arturo vidal did not leave a puppet with a head in the interview he gave to the newspaper ‘La Tercera’ and charged harshly against him FC Barcelona because of how the club has been managed in recent years. “Clearly this is not just about players, but it is something much bigger, things are not being done well. The club has to improve and do it in the best way. But it is not easy, it is not to arrive and take out the greatest and things will change, “he commented.
To begin with, the Chilean wanted to make it clear that style and touch are no longer everything and that they cannot insist on wanting to play in the same way as a few years ago. “Barcelona first have to change their way of thinking, they have to realize that football has evolved a lot. DNA is being left behind and the other teams are improving in other aspects, football at the moment is more physical, with more strength and speed, and technique sometimes takes a back seat, “he said.
“The best team in the world cannot have 13 professionals and the rest are kids”
In addition, the one from San Joaquín criticized the Barça sports planning, since the squad is too short and for him it is not possible to depend on youth players and youth players such as Ansu Fati or Riqui Puig. “Barça has to change a lot of things. A team, which I think is the best in the world, cannot have 13 professional players and the rest are minors. It’s not that they don’t deserve to be there, but the best have to be competing on this team, “she said.
In relation to this, the midfielder believes that a good squad needs 23 good players to compete for the position, something that does not happen in the Barcelona squad. According to how he sees it, at the club they believe that with Leo Messi and with style is enough, something that is not true. “All teams have 23 players to fight for the position, grow and get better every day. Here they do not advance, when you think that with your DNA you can always win, you are very wrong. There are very good footballers, we have Messi who is number one and is an alien, but he needs help, he needs players who improve the team and give better results“, he stressed.
He also wanted to explain why the 2-8 against Bayern Munich and clarified that it is the result of a series of terrible decisions by the club. “They have done things that do not go with a world-class team. In the end, the bill comes to you when you face an orderly team, a team that has a winning mentality, with players who are physically prepared, and who had a very strong game system. That takes its toll when one is weak of head and energy, that happened to us, “he recalled.
Vidal spoke of his future and sent a message to Barça
On the other hand, the Chilean spoke of his future and defended his career and his work in the team. “Like Arturo Vidal there is no one. It is indicated by the numbers in the last thirteen years, the team that I was I changed for the better“He said. In addition, he said that he has spoken with Koeman and that he is open to leaving if the club considers it so.” I am at the disposal of whatever the team decides, and here or in another club I will try to be the best. I already spoke with Koeman, this Sunday 30 we return and we will see what happens, “he said.
“I am at the disposal of what the team decides and here or in another club I will try to be the best”
Vidal did not miss the opportunity to give Barça another stick because of how he has handled the situation of players who do not count for next season, such as him or Luis Suárez. “That is complicated. I have never understood that to place the players with the transferable word. It’s very ugly. If a player wants to leave or you want to sell him, find him a team, but don’t say it, it’s like taking the player. Or switching from player to player is crazy. They all deserve respect, “he explained.
Finally, he referred to the option that his friend Andrea Pirlo, who will train the Bianconeros this coming year, could have to join Juventus in Turin. The one from San Joaquín praised the Italian and was delighted at that possibility. “He was incredible when he played, imagine him as a coach. If he or Juventus calls me, I’m happy, but one has to be calm. If it happens, it happens. I have a lot of affection for Juve and Andrea“, he finished.
