Arturo Vidal is one of the best footballers on the Chilean national team and continent in recent times, but he hasn’t had much luck every time he tries to be sharp with his statements.
Arturo vidal He is a world famous soccer player. The Chilean national team midfielder currently plays for Flamengo in Brazil after spending more than 10 consecutive years in the elite of European football at notable teams such as Juventus, Bayern Munich and Barcelona. However, “King Arthur” is also famous for his eccentric personality and attitude on and off the pitch. One of them is his misfortune to talk too much before playing.
Unfortunately for him – and for the delight of his critics – Arturo Vidal has not had a good time going overboard before a game or event in football in recent years. This happened to him recently in Flamengo’s defeat by Al-Hilal at the 2022 Club World Cup, but his history of Mufa phrases is extensive. do you remember everyone
Arturo Vidal and his Mufas to the Chilean team
The trend of Arturo Vidal and his unwise upfront phrases started with a tweet he posted in October 2017 — and it’s perhaps the most famous of them all. “Rest, my children!!! Dad has to work and lead Chile to the World Cup!!! I love you very much,” he wrote when the classification for Russia 2018 was still missing: Chile did not qualify for the World Cup after losing to Brazil.

Previously, Vidal also revealed in the Bolivia vs. Chile preview – after qualifiers – that “Bolivia is watching the World Cup on TV”. Two years later, at the 2019 Copa America, King Arthur declared that “against Peru it won’t be as tough as if Uruguay had played us”. The Mufa did his job again: Peru defeated Chile 3-0 in the semifinals.

In August 2020, Arturo Vidal heated the game Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich for the quarterfinals of the Champions League. “I didn’t pay much attention because I know the people of Bayern and what is said outside is not what the players think. They have confidence but they know they won’t be playing a Bundesliga side tomorrow they’re going to play Barça,” he said before losing 8-2.
That same year, just three months later, Vidal spoke unwisely again before facing Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage. “It’s a beautiful game. I’ve had two great years at Barcelona so I hope tomorrow I can celebrate the win with Inter and Barça fans,” he explained. Inter lost both games and finished bottom of Group B.

Finally, the last and the one that inspired this compilation of phrases was the one he released in the celebrations of winning the Copa Libertadores with Flamengo. “Madrid, we will break your c*lo,” said the Chilean at the time. However, his team was eliminated by Al-Hilal before he could play with the Meringues and fans couldn’t help but blame him.
