The Colo Colo midfielder made an exhaustive analysis of the Cacique’s campaign in the continental competition. In passing, he sent a message to the national team.
Arturo Vidal takes stock of Colo Colo’s Copa Libertadores campaign. The vision from the steering wheel is positive. “The analysis is good. After so much time, the club reaches a stage like this and it is important. We were level against a team that was ready to win this cup and we made them look bad. They, with their experience and all their years of fighting, made it the only one they had. We leave with our heads held high, this year will serve us well for the future. Next year we want to be among the top four” he told ESPN.
In this sense, he appreciates the growth they have experienced during the season. “The group has become stronger and stronger. We have a lot of confidence. I heard them say we were going to be behind, but they backed off, they took time from the first minute and their goalkeeper is a world champion. Hopefully this helps us, we want to come out stronger and win the National Championship and the Chilean Cup,” he said.

As has become the trend, the king criticized what his rival did in the rematch. “River prepared to win the Libertadores. Gallardo never made changes to the classics, but now he does, because he was afraid of us. Here we are showing better football than them. We made a good presentation, we started before the group stage and we arrived here. “It is a good parameter,” he said.
“When I arrived, they told me I was crazy to say that Colo Colo was in the top eight and look now. Not everyone speaks before, with Monday’s newspaper it’s easy, but what has been done now will be very useful to us. I hope we continue to grow. In Santiago we had more chances, if we had won 2-1 we would have been calmer, but in Buenos Aires we were tied. They scored two goals against us from set pieces in 180 minutes and it hurts.” he added.
Now the white team is focusing on the local competition. “I thank the people, since I arrived they have been incredible. Coming here was something I had never experienced, the fans believe in this project. The goal is the title, it does not depend on us, the U are at the top, if they fall, the National Championship will be ours” ” Vidal suggested.
Finally, he mentioned the possibility of joining La Roja, but he supposes that it is far away. “The national team is another issue, I’m happy in Colo Colo. I think the coach has chosen another path and that is respectable, but I hope we see changes because they have a bad image and have difficult games. Now I don’t want to talk about that, I want to be present in Colo Colo on the FIFA date,” King concluded.
