Arturo Vidal (38 Viewers)

[Vlad]

I like Vidal not just as player but as a person. He has potential of becoming great midfielder in future. He is just 24 and already looks very mature. We are lucky to have him. And as far as Marchisio-Vidal debate, I think they both have their advantages, Marchisio has better ball control, dribling, Vidal is stronger, better passing ability, more stamina, and I would like to try them both as CM pair.

I like this comment.

Almost everybody took the heat pages back and comparing Vidal with Marchisio while clearly there will be potentially a condition where Pirlo won't always be fit. With the Milan game there's a prospect of a good system to play without Pirlo but Vidal and Marchisio, I'm not saying Pirlo isn't an integral part of that match but his role wasn't big as the other match, particularly the first two Serie A matches.

I hate these Vidal-Marchisio comparisons; they're so unneeded. Everyone should just be glad we have them & Pirlo in CM instead of Aquagirl and Felipe 'Unstable' Melo. Both players have their weaknesses and both have their strengths. They do not do the same thing on the pitch and should not be expected to either. Conte does not tell them to do the same thing so they should not be compared. They both offer a lot of dynamism to our team and make us a lot more unpredictable. Marchisio has been played for years not for no reason and Vidal was not Bundesliga's best CM for no reason. Vidal's covers Marchisio's lesser abilities in tackling and strength while Marchisio allows for great dribbling up the pitch. Marchisio is a better shooter and Vidal a better passer. IMO they should be both played in a 4-3-3, it allows pressure and intensity all over the park and great incisiveness up the pitch. All we need are fowards with good finishing . Vucinic on the left and Matri/Quag in the centre would suit the midfield perfectly.

Kyle I was wondering[/QUOTE
And?

Some pretty good tackling v Argentina in the WC qualifiers. Played as LB and CM.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

flopped in that game according goal.cm

 

[ZoSo]

Goal always have shit player ratings, he can hardly be blamed at all for any of the goals. His passing wasn't too great at times but that wasn't his job. He won the ball at least 4-5 times. Banega flopped more than Vidal imo, he had a very very quiet game.

 

[IliveForJuve]

The whole Chile squad was shit.

 

[ZoSo]

Chile was a complete mess but when Vidal did go in for a tackle he usually won.

Great post, Well said. Both compliment each other. In Pirlo Marchisio and Vidal we have 3 CM that all have different qualities that the other needs to perform that much better......Does that make sense? In my head it did haha.

Vidal, our WARRIOR


He settled wonderfully in the Juventus group. Unlike the newcomers, Arturo Vidal has earned on the field the degrees of the starter, that pushed Conte to enact the 4-1-4-1.

The module in question is the perfect solution for not giving up the three TENORI of midfield: Marchisio, Pirlo, Vidal. It is no coincidence that with the three of them the engine of Juve is on reaching the right rpm. Their contribution is essential for a variety of reasons: balance, maneuver, inserts, filter. Pieces, in fact, that it is difficult to give up.

In this trio, Pirlo and Marchisio were the most popular. Most run, the most commonly used in pre-season for the absence of Chilean. The debut in the championship had already shown a first solution: the phosphorus and the race of Vidal could be valuable for this Juventus, as well as his instinct to seek more input and then that vice for the goal ... but we had not understood what could be the ideal solution: along to Pirlo? Behind the attacker? In the lateral position?

The Doubt, even the doubts, Conte brilliantly solved them, launching a kind of midfield of 5 very dynamic. The wings are the wings, Pirlo does Pirlo, because as Pirlo there is nobody in the world: in front of the defense, with freedom to go out sporadically in the midfield and to trigger the striker. And then Marchisio and Vidal to liberate their instincts, strong with pretty good technique, a unbeatable spirit of sacrifice and an monstrous tactical sense. In the five games I have not seen Juve suffer because of the opponent, never suffer a counter-atack, never go below numerically in defense even when the full backs are pushing and midfielders are all about to attack. Result of a sparing of the Master Conte who has found the right distances between departments and most appropriate people (and very available and willing) to his tactical plan.

Vidal is simply the novelty, in fact, he is a player that Juve has always possessed. The grit of Tardelli and the wickedness of Benetti, or simply the wisdom of Jugovic and dynamism of Davids. I like Vidal to approach these men, well highlighting, until now, the distances. But Vidal was only 24 years and is the fifth game in black and white jersey.

Conte used him to the right, indeed in the center-right, so that Vidal can plug the hole left by Krasic when he goes ... and not comes back. And always in this way Vidal can accompany the outbursts of Serbian's approaching dangerously penalty area. Against Milan, except for Vucinic, the other player who has attempted the goal for the greatest number of times was the Chilean. Defect of aim, a defect stressed out even more after scoring in his debut. But there will be time to polish this defect, because of other flaws ... for the moment I can not see.

Congrats, therefore, to Marotta who ripped him from competition of European teams, on all the scary Bayern Monaco. I enjoy even because about Vidal we did not know him and many had doubts about his adaptation to the Italian league. I enjoy when the newspapers wrote about a difficult position on the chessboard of Conte and threw polls unresolved: Marchisio or Vidal near to Pirlo? And why not all three?!?

Catania?

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Catania?

For the goal? Well it was 4(Cat.) vs. 5(Juv.). I don't know if it would qualify as a counter-attack, unless you mean other instances throughout the game.

 

[Camurria]

Apperently against Argentina... Vidal was the worst player on the pitch. He was at fault for not marking one of their players in which resulted in the first goal, and just got out beat the whole game. Checking his ratings from various websites(even goal.com) all of them gave him very low ratings. I didn't see the game for myself, but from what I see, my assumption is, he had a very bad game. Curious to see how bad it was.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Did he play out of position again?

 

[Nicholas]

No wonder when he's played in a three man defence.

Catania counter-attacked us plenty of times.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Probably. Tbh, I don't remember it very well.
