El Apache, ex-partner of the Chilean idol and xeneize, was consulted on the King’s option in the Argentine club. “You know the background, guys…” he said of the non-signing, slipping his country’s delicate economic situation as the reason.
The fact that Flamengo has accelerated the negotiations for the signing of Arturo Vidal has sparked reactions in Argentina, especially in the ‘Boca world’. The trans-Andean sports press used many minutes of television and several pages in the newspapers for the king and his flirtation with the xeneizes, a flirtation that was diluted before the imminent announcement of the Mengao.
One of the illustrious who commented on the situation was Carlos Tevez, former teammate of Vidal at Juventus and idol of Boca Juniors, now converted into coach of Rosario Central, his first banking experience. The Apache put cold sheets on the expectation that had been generated on the other side of the mountain range.
“Vidal is a player for any club. I had the opportunity to play with him and he is great. If I was excited about signing with Boca? No, were you excited? You know the context, guys…” Tevez expressed, in dialogue with TyC Sports.
“We know that today for Argentine football, bringing in a player with these characteristics is very difficult. They have a salary of three, four million dollars. How do you do?… Considering how the dollar is today today, how do you expect them to pay for it? , he added. Indeed, the latest events in Argentina, with the change of economy minister, have triggered a major crisis in the neighboring country.
The former player was consulted on whether he believed Vidal was using Boca to pressure Flamengo and thus get a better offer from Mengao. “If he did that, he’s a freak,” Tevez replied.
In the Copa Libertadores, there could be a cross between the xeneizes and the Rubro-Negro. If the two overcome their Round of 16, against Corinthians and Tolima, respectively, they will meet in the Round of 16.
