Arturo vidal it is a parameter of bravery and fighting on the playing field all over the world. And it was not going to be against Andrea Pirlo, who was his former partner in the Juventus and makes his debut this season as coach of Vecchia Signora.
The Maestro is forging his leadership at the helm of the Bianconeri and found no better way than to take on who became in the last hours as the great reinforcement of Inter Milan for this season.
Vidal signed with Inter and will be under the baton of Antonio Conte, but Pirlo does not forget when he lived with both of them in the multi-champion team at the beginning of the last decade. And he brought up the Chilean when qualifying Weston McKennie.
The American made his debut in the victory against Sampdoria and his coach filled him with praise. But more abundant were the compliments in private. “He is a Vidal with more muscles,” says the DT in his inner circle, revealed La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The 22-year-old midfielder, who comes on loan from Schalke, was preferred in the starting position against Rodrigo Bentancur and Arthur, the midfielder he shared with Vidal in Barcelona and who came in exchange for Miralem Pjanic to the Italian champion.

For the moment they are words, but we will have to wait to see if the parallel that Pirlo makes between McKennie and Vidal is so true. For now, the American shows hunger to test everything.
The clash between Inter and Juventus, known worldwide as Derby d’Italia, is scheduled for next January 17; an instance for which Vidal will want to present the best of his repertoire to whoever was his ally in the glorious Juve de Conte.
