The FC Barcelona has reinforced all his lines in the present season and, curiously, the most contrasted signing of the summer for the culés has been the one who has cost less money: Arturo Vidal. With 18 million euros, situates underneath of the 36 of Clément Lenglet, the 31 of Arthur and the 41 of Malcom. 

Curiously, the Chilean midfield player, by his experience and importance to European level, is one of which has more possibilities to form part of the called eleven of gala, employed in the most important parties against the most complicated rivals. It was a key piece in the Juventus of Turín and in the Bayern of Munich, and also wants to be it in the FC Barcelona. 

On the paper, Arturo Vidal comes to occupy the place of Paulinho Bezerra, that left to the Guangzhou Evergrande and that, in parties of vital importance as in Santiago Bernabéu or in Stamford Bridge, was to title. What have to ask us is if the Chilean comes to fulfil with this same role.

A priori, it had that Philippe Coutinho occupied the place of left interior in a 4-3-3 in which it would accompany to Ivan Rakitic and to Sergio Busquets in the medullary. Nevertheless, the performance of the Chilean and the one of Arthur, the another reinforcement for the centre of the field, can displace to Coutinho to positions more advanced.

If Arthur and Coutinho correspond to a style of technical player, with desborde, creativity and a glove to the hour to happen it, Arturo Vidal represents the physical power, the capacity of pressure and the skill to arrive from second line. Attributes that do him split with advantage for being the only player of the staff that possesses them.

Arturo Vidal, revulsivo or title?

A priori, without knowing as it will answer his knee neither as it will adapt to the football of LaLiga, is complicated to hit in if Arturo Vidal will be an usual headline or no. The most likely is that it fulfil with a similar role to the of Paulinho, of revulsivo from the bench in parties atascados but to title in parties  out of house against powerful teams.
