Midfield – FC Barcelona, Chilean national team
An atypical player, Arturo Vidal is an amazing teammate and a key member of a team. From Bayer Leverkusen to Juventus Turin and Bayern Munich, the Chilean rarely disappoints.
However, not everything in Arturo’s life has always been rosy.
Born and raised in one of Santiago’s poorest neighbourhoods, football was his escape and his only way out.
Asked by AFP on the sidelines of the Confederations Cup, his former Rodelindo coach, Arturo Olea, told an incredible anecdote: “He was nicknamed the’Earth Eater’ because he fell and played. He was even beaten up and kept going. He didn’t care if he was hurt or hurt.” (sources: ohmygoal)
This anecdote shows the determination that it takes in football to reach the highest level.
He is technical, fast, aggressive and able to score decisive goals.
