The FC Barcelona announced of official form the signing of Arturo Vidal pertinent of the Bayern of Munich. To his 31 years, the Chilean midfield player will arrive to the Camp Nou to assume one of the last big challenges of his career surrounded of players of the highest level like Leo Messi, Philippe Coutinho or Luis Suárez.
Arturo Vidal is a footballer of characteristics very specific that adapts well to what Ernesto Valverde needed for his staff. The technician extremeño seems totally decided to recover the 4-3-3 characteristic in the FC Barcelona from does years, and seems very clear the position in which it will play the Chilean.
The flamante signing of the FC Barcelona has multiple virtues. The arrival is one of them, how no, for suplir the drop of Paulinho. In three seasons in the Bayern of Munich, marked 22 goals. His season more goleadora, however, went in the 2013-14, where annotated 18 goals with the Juventus of Turín.
The another factor by which stands out the game of Arturo Vidal is by his big capacity for presionar to the rival to force the loss of the balloon. The Chilean is a very strong player physically, but also stands out in the tactical section, being able to recover a lot of balls and to brake the attacks of the rival.
In this way, in the new 4-3-3 of Ernesto Valverde, Arturo Vidal will play like interior, in a similar position to the one of Paulinho. Like interior, will be able to lucir all his skills, so much his arrival to the rival area like his defensive deployment to recover balloons. It will be a player of distinct profile to the rest of interiors of the team.
Relief of Busquets?
Another of the positions in which it could play Arturo Vidal would be the one of mediocentro by in front of the defence, relieving to Sergo Busquets. However, it would be a role in which it could not take out to relucir all his potential, being preferable that split in positions more advanced to see him surrender to the maximum level.
