Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal

Arturo Vidal is a Chilean footballer who plays for the German "Bavaria". This year he turned 29 years old, so he is in the optimal form at the peak of his career. Arturo Vidal performs at the position of the central midfielder, but at the same time he is the universal of the center of the field, that is, he can descend to the base zone or climb to the position of the attacking midfielder.

Carier start

Arturo Vidal was born on May 22, 1987 in Chile in the city of Santiago, where he started playing football at the age of ten at the academy of a small club "Rodellino Roman". In 2004, when he was 17 years old, Arturo moved to the larger club "Deportes Melipilla", but after a year he signed a professional contract with Kolo-Kolo, for which he began to speak in the same year. However, the young player was not immediately able to break into the foundation of the club, so that his debut took place only in 2006. In that season, he spent 20 matches, scoring three goals. The young midfielder looked more than convincing, so he attracted the attention of European clubs, and in the summer of 2007 Arturo Vidal was sold to German Bayer for five million euros.

Moving to Europe

Arturo Vidal, whose biography has made a sharp turn, quickly began to win a place in the starting lineup. Already in the first season he played in 33 games, scoring his first goal. In total, "Bayer" Chilean spent four years, going on the field 144 times and marking 21 goals. However, in 2011, he decided that it was time to take a step up a notch, so he accepted an offer from Italy's strongest club, Juventus. "Bayer" as compensation received twelve and a half million euros.

The game for Juventus

In "Juventus" Arturo immediately got a place in the starting lineup, having played in the first season of 35 matches and scoring 7 goals. It was in this club that Vidal from just a strong player turned into a world-class football player and one of the best central midfielders of modern football. In "Juventus" the sportsman also spent four years, until in 2015 he was not called Munich "Bavaria". Arturo agreed to go to one of the strongest clubs in the world - for him it was the limit of dreams. For Juventus, the midfielder played 171 games, scoring 48 goals.

Going to "Bavaria"

Vidal went through a rather difficult period of adaptation at the club in Munich, when he was criticized all for not the best performances, but in the second half of the first season he played at the same level. In 47 matches, the player scored 7 goals and after four consecutive world titles in Italy he won the first league title in Germany. In the current season, he played 21 matches already, scoring 3 goals and giving two assists.
