The midfielder was angry that he didn’t take part in Flamengo’s triumph and expressed it by throwing his boots away. Television cameras captured the moment and it is one of the main problems in Rio de Janeiro.
Arturo Vidal isn’t having a good time in Brazil. The days of celebration after obtaining the Copa Libertadores were left behind. The King, relegated to the substitutes’ bench, exploded due to the lack of minutes at the start of the season. The flyer was filmed by television cameras throwing away their booties at the end of the game due to not entering in Flamengo’s 1-0 win over Boavista.
The attitude of the Chilean is talking about her in Rio de Janeiro. Media outlet UOL not only referenced the ex-Juventus’ anger, but also referenced the player winking at Colo Colo, in a Twitch broadcast. “After deceiving the entire red and black nation and the Flamengo board of directors by offering to play for the club for a salary of one million dollars, the Chilean Arturo Vidal offered himself to Colo Colo”, they begin by saying.
“Not satisfied with the displeasure caused by the crowd, He starred in a gruesome show on the Maracanã bench, when he angrily threw his boots off when he realized he wouldn’t get in in the game against Boavista,” they add.
In the digital portal, they assure that after the displayed attitude, Arturo Vidal should not move for the Club World Cup. “It has become clear that he has no business in Morocco. It is a suitcase that will only bring excess weight in the Flamengo luggage, ”they condemn.
On the other hand, at Globo Esporte they were more measured with the situation, but they didn’t let it pass. “The Chilean threw his boots on the bench, very upset to see that he didn’t enter the pitch (…) Vidal was irritated when Vitor Pereira made the last substitutions and saw that he was not entering the field. BandSports cameras caught him in full fury on the bench. When the referee declared the game over, the Chilean went straight to the locker room and did not participate in the fans’ greetings by the players. Normally, he is one of the sportsmen who pull the group to thank the fans ” they wrote.
In this sense, they also referred to the controversial broadcast made by former Inter Milan. “While he was concentrating on the match against Boavista, Vidal opened a live on social networks and chatted with Internet users. At some point, the Chilean volunteered to play for Colo Colo. The case did not resonate well with the player’s social network, which soon after began to receive many negative comments on his posts. Some Flamengo fans even asked the midfielder to leave” they say.
The daily Lance! He also jumped into the mess involving the driver. “Despite the victory, the one who stole the show was Arturo Vidal, who didn’t even enter the pitch. The player, who had already been involved in the controversy before the duel, showed his displeasure by not entering the field. Thus, the first big challenge for Vítor Pereira is on the table,” they state.
In this diary they evoke the complicated moment of football of the national team, which does not have the expected continuity in the Brazilian club. “Vidal hasn’t managed to land Vítor Pereira’s Flamengo yet. Of the seven games he has played in 2023, the Chilean has only entered the pitch in two of them, none as a starter. 26 minutes in total, figures below the expectations of the crowd”, they relate.
“He seems to have lost space in the hierarchy of Flamengo midfielders. With the departure of João Gomes, the second vacancy remained vacant, but it was quickly filled by Gerson. The other Chilean in the team, Erick Pulgar, also overtook his teammate and had more opportunities,” they add.
