The national midfielder entered the supplement and had his first minutes with his new team, in the 2-0 victory over Bahia. After adding half an hour on the pitch, the Colo Colo-trained player pointed the finger at the Flamengo coach.
The closeness between Arturo Vidal and Jorge Sampaoli was definitely broken. The midfielder is offloaded after adding his first minutes at Athletico Paranaense. He tells the TV show that he’s happy to be back in court, but He takes the opportunity to go all out against the former coach of La Roja, who managed him at Flamengo until last week.
“I feel very happy. I was always ready to play, except I had a loser as a coach, someone who doesn’t know how to appreciate his players,” he said. Before this Sunday, the one trained in Colo Colo had avoided publicly discussing his relationship with the Casildense. However, he had already given signs that the bond between the two was no longer what it had been before.
Just hours after Mengao’s national team departure was confirmed, his partner had slammed Sampaoli via social media. A user commented on one of Sonia Isaza’s posts on Instagram. “Why isn’t Vidal playing?” he asked. “Because there is a very bad coach!” replied the Colombian.
Following Paranaense’s triumph over Bahia, the ex-Inter Milan have fired their first shot at the ex-Argentina coach but adds that his days at Flamengo are definitely over. “It’s behind us, now I’m happy. I hope to play from the start in the upcoming matches and show what I’ve done in my whole career, which is to be a winner,” adds the midfield.
breakup signs
When Jorge Sampaoli arrived at Flamengo, he referenced Arturo Vidal in his presentation. At that time, there was nothing but praise from the Argentine. “We have always had a very good relationship. I am grateful all my life for what he generated for his country and in me, in relation to this coincidence together in this Chile winning the Copa América”, were his words.
Before reuniting, the former Juventus footballer was also revealed to have the best opinion of the coach. “Sampaoli is one of the best coaches in the world according to his vision of football, he also studies a lot like Guardiola. I am very happy to have lived these beautiful moments together, because something unprecedented was achieved in the national team, which was to be champion,” the midfielder told CNN when he was a member of Bayern Munich. .
But the second part together was not as expected. The coach felt that Vidal could no longer fulfill the functions he needed for his team and relegated him to a secondary role, or less than that, at Flamengo. Vidal, without physical problems, did not agree to have so few minutes. After losing the position, that of San Joaquín felt that the Transandean was turning its back on him.
His head keeps spinning when he risked his health ahead of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, when he decided to play the independent planetary event after undergoing knee surgery. This situation threatened his career for not having respected the recovery deadlines. A few weeks before leaving the cast of Rio de Janeiro, the former Bayer Leverkusen avoided referring to Sampaoli, but alluded to the distance.
“The only thing I don’t want to talk about is that I’m not interested in talking to him. I don’t mean that in a bad way. What we experienced before we were happy, but now he’s the coach and I don’t take advantage of it,” the footballer told DNA radio. on the occasion of the eighth anniversary of the Copa América 2015.
