Vidal: Barcelona Best Team in the World

DBasia.news – Arturo Vidal signed the three-year-contract with his new club, FC Barcelona. Blaugrana is the fifth professional club that the 31-year-old midfielder played for. Previously he played for Colo-Colo, Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus, and Bayern Munchen.

Vidal was also the fourth recruitment of Barcelona after Arthur Melo, Clement Lenglet, and Malcom. His arrival fulfilled Ernesto Valverde’s wish for a central midfielder after left by Paulinho and Andres Iniesta. Vidal has the quality and experience much needed by Barcelona.

The Chile national team player had the success with Juventus and Bayern. However, Vidal admitted that joining Barcelona is a huge step in his career. It means Barcelona is better than Bavaria.

“I have come here to win everything. This is a big step up from Bayern Munich. I hope to make a contribution and help my teammates to win all the titles. We will prepare to exceed expectations with maximum confidence,” Vidal insisted reported by Marca.

Asked by the reporters about Barca’s rivalry with Real Madrid, Vidal insisted that he’s not Anti-Madrid. Though the fact, Vidal often meets El Real in Champions League. While Barcelona, Vidal’s current club, is Madrid’s rival during the El Clasico.

“No (anti-Madrid). I am a rival to all those who play against Barcelona from now on. I have no rival. The one that faces Barcelona, they are my rival,” Vidal added.

“I don’t know if I have outstanding accounts with Madrid, aside from my main objective, which is to win the Champions League. I hope to fulfill that here. When we take on Madrid, then we’ll see,” he concluded.

Vidal’s typical style is similar to Paulinho: box to box midfielder. He ensures the strength of center field for Barcelona combined with Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets.
