Though funny we see them as some idols. They are just human, most of them human with lower thinking abilities because they are at the top of sports mountains, and that takes every little bit of time to get there, not a lot of time left for working on your intelligence.

We see them as more mature than they really are, because they are famous. Truth is at 28 most people are still kids these days. And so is Vidal. His press conference is painful to watch, because he looks like a child. And of course he's not the sharpest guy around. We all know that.

I still adore the guy though :D

Really stupid and irresponsible thing for him to do like others here have said even if he didnt kill someone he totally could have. He should face whatever legal penalties are imposed

Still, any talk of selling him is ludicrous. The guy is immense on the pitch and seems to be finally back to his best form.

I wanted to write that, that he looks just like a child, but then I thought he's not Pogba age, but 28. He totally looks like a child that, but a child that knows he did bad and is ashamed. The most important thing is what he will do with this situation further in his life. But for me as a Juve fan I only care about that 5% as long as he performs. There are literally millions of people that do same mistakes and if I don't go over my head about them in my day I will certainly not loose sleep with this.

Thankfully everyone survived and avoided tragedy, hope Vidal will learn from this. And sets a good example to the rest of the common people.

Forza Arturo. He did something dumb, and was pretty lucky with the outcome. He has faced or will face the consequences. So let's move on and hope he's at his best for Juve this coming season.
I think he was unlucky. You know what usually happens when you drink and drive? You get home and go to sleep. But we all forget that basic reality, because we like to judge others for things many of us have done ourselves.

He should pay the fine, face punishment and repent. But I can't judge him for it.

I think he cries a bit because of shame. That's good he is ashamed of such thing.
That too probably. But it's soon for any real regret.

Well yah, unlucky that he got into the accident, but lucky that the accident resulted in no injury or death. I ain't judging him either

Shock as you said, and probably something more, it's a situation he has never been in. But shame is there. Put a kid that did wrong in front of a crowd with a mic, shame will set in. Unless he's a lost cause.

It's sort of funny. Because he suddenly realises everyone is looking at him and he did something wrong and doesn't know what to say so he just starts to cry.

I just hope he doesn't do it again.
