Inter linked Arturo Vidal discussed the return to football, his future and his relationship with Nerazzurri coach Antonio Conte in an interview with Spanish media outlet El Periodico earlier today.
First, he talked about his career and how long he has left, considering that he is 33 years old.
“I feel in this moment that I have three or four years more at the highest level. The numbers speak for themselves.”
The Chilean midfielder touched on his future and whether he would stay with Barcelona or not after the summer.
“There’s two months left until the end of the season. I want to feel important, if not then you have to do what is best for your career. In Barcelona I’m happy, my family is happy and I have excellent teammates.
“I like to play, I like to feel important. I don’t say every game, but the fundamental ones, the ones that help you win titles. There are many feelings that come into play.”
Vidal commented on his relationship with Conte, who coached the Chilean during his time at Juventus.
“We have an excellent relationship. He knows that I’m a winner, that he can trust me. That’s what I want here too. There’s two months left, and I hope to feel this trust here too.”
The player didn’t see himself leaving the club as part of an exchange deal. Rumours have linked the player with a move to Inter by including him in the deal for Lautaro Martinez.
“I’ve built my whole career on my own. In return, it’s been very strong. I’m very quiet and I’m not a kid. I have a career that few people can boast with. I can’t comment every time an article comes out in the press. They change versions all the time, in the end you risk going crazy.”
He spoke about his experiences in lockdown due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.
“It was a bad experience. Nobody expected it, hopefully such a pandemic will never happen again. It’s been a very difficult month for everyone. I was not alone.
“I was accompanied by Juan Ramírez, my trainer and, in addition, two friends of mine who had come to visit me in these days had to stay here, obviously, to pass the pandemic. This made me work more comfortably at home because they were there.”
Vidal spoke about his training sessions and how hard he has been working at home. A video of him running 10 kilometres in 38 minutes recently went viral.
“I’ve done two workouts a day. There was a day when I was training with Juanma and suddenly I started to do a challenge on video. The 10 km in 38 minutes? I didn’t want it to go viral.
“The resistance training was working, and it occurred to me that I should continue. I did the 10 km in 38.08 minutes. But I could slowly improve that time. Thank God I’m better prepared than ever.”
Finally, Vidal talked about what he would like to do after he retires from football.
“In this isolation, I was taken by the desire to become a coach. I’ve had coaches of all styles and cultures. Conte, Guardiola, Ancelotti, Heynckes. Some of them have changed me a lot. Conte, I love him. Guardiola knows a lot about football. Heynckes and Ancelotti, too, the way they handled the squads. In time, I want to bring together the best in each and then make my career.”
