After his debut with the Athletico Paranaense jersey, the Chilean continued to attack his former coach. Later on the networks, he launched a surprising message.
Arturo Vidal’s debut with Athletico Paranaense took a back seat after the Chilean midfielder’s explosive statements after the match ended. There, he spoke in harsh terms about his former coach Jorge Sampaoli.
The former Juventus player was hurt by what he went through during his time at Flamengo and directly blamed the Argentine for the few minutes he had during his final months at the club. “I feel very happy. I’ve always been ready to play, except I had a loser as a coach, someone who doesn’t know how to appreciate his players.” expressed in the official transmission.
Statements that were made in the press conference that Vidal held after the match that ended 2-0 in favor of his team against Bahía, in the 15th date of the local championship. “For me, the Sampaoli affair is a closed question. Now I realized what a lot of people told me about who I was, I never listened “, he launched from the outset.
“Now I realized the person he is, the coach he is and I feel really happy not to be with him anymore. “, he explained later.
Obviously the remarks found an echo in the national public, which was divided by the declarations of the champion of America. Many supported Vidal’s speech, but criticism on social media also came in droves. Something that did not go unnoticed by the former Colo Colo.
“they are all morons he commented in a post he uploaded to Instagram that was filled with comments from people claiming his behavior with Sampaoli.
Another dart from the national footballer, who made a very controversial debut with the Paranaense shirt due to his statements. The tension being at its peak, it remains to be seen whether the Argentine coach will decide to respond to his former pupil, with whom he won the 2015 Copa América and led Chile to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
