The Chilean midfielder missed most of the season due to injury and was missed by Bayern Munich in their encounter with Real Madrid. Arturo Vidal is a dynamic box to box midfielder who makes his presence felt in the game.

Vidal has won the Serie A 4 times with Juventus and is on a roll with Bayern Munich winning 3 successive Bundesliga titles.

It was at Juventus that Vidal discovered his best position – box to box midfielder. Vidal apart from being great at tackling, interceptions, anchoring counter attacks and scoring an outrageous goal once in a while is an accurate penalty kick taker as well.

With around 100 appearances for Chile, the 31 years old has been one of the star performers for la Roja.

Vidal belongs to a rare category of players who like to be involved all the times. He had been instrumental in chile’s success at Copa America and will surely be missed at FIFA 18 in Russia. Great interceptions, long pass and a knack for goal- Arturo Vidal adds a new dimension to the game

Chile failing to qualify was largely because Vidal wasn’t available for the final few qualifying matches. This just tells us how good the former Juventus man is.
