One of the most distinctive features of Arturo vidal is out of court. The Chilean midfielder leaves a mark in every locker room he occupies, and the proof is in fifty football friends he has achieved in his career.
The departure of Barcelona gives us a clue. Lionel messi Y Luis Suarez They led the farewell greetings for the King. “You seemed like a phenomenon to me, but I met you and you surprised me even more,” La Pulga told him in a commented and emotional post on Instagram.
Behind the pair of South Americans practically the entire squad lined up to say goodbye to Vidal. Jordi Alba, who was his permanent partner at the time of training, poured meaningful concepts. “We are going to miss you a lot, crack”, sentenced the Spanish side.

The recurring image was the Chilean each of his friends and a big smile on his face.
Another of the familiar faces was that of Kevin-Prince Boateng, with whom he shared in the Barca dressing room two seasons ago and sent him a greeting. “Even if you’re going to wear the wrong Milan colors, good luck brother,” the eccentric player posted.

Vidal and his friends forever
But the good vibes with Vidal in football began much earlier, when he was a youth and he earned a place in Colo Colo based on charisma and great disposition. Some of his companions from those days remain in his inner circle.
It is the case of Rodrigo Paillaqueo, Humberto Álvarez, Iván Valenzuela and Juan Pablo Arenas, all allies of the King during his passage through the Colo Colo quarry. Some reinforced Rodelindo Román, where Arturo was forged in his childhood.

Of this group, Álvarez and Valenzuela are first line. They spent the entire pandemic with Vidal at his home in Barcelona and appeared continuously on their social networks, either training or having fun with the 8 of the Chilean team.
Three names also come from those days that passed down to posterity. Coach Hugo Gonzalez, the kinesiologist Carlos Osorio and the physical trainer Juan Angel Ramirez, who today is Vidal’s personal trainer in Milan and supervises all his athletic preparation.

From Colo Colo to the world
Vidal joined the professional team in Colo Colo in 2005 and with this, he recruited new “little brothers” to his band. Among the “greats”, David Henríquez, Arturo Sanhueza and Moisés Villarroel They had their respect and the relationship continues to this day.
There were more interested. Fernando Meneses He never separated from the King again and even tried to emulate him in a challenge of running ten kilometers in the middle of the pandemic. Meneses, today in Lautaro de Buin, was exhausted but at peace with the King.
Rodolfo Madrid and Mario Cáceres, two with colocolino DNA, today they take the reins of Rodelindo Román in his fight to reach the top divisions of Chilean soccer. Vidal was even at the farewell to football for the former left-back, in San Vicente de Tagua Tagua.
The relationship between Claudio Borghi and Arturo Vidal broke down after the remembered Bautizazo
After going unnoticed during the technical tenure of Ricadro Dabrowski and Marcelo Espina, Claudio Borghi came to Colo Colo and the heart of King Arthur. They say that he even summoned him to matches so that he could eat better with the first team.
Of that multi-champion Colo Colo almost all are friends. Gonzalo Fierro, Luis Mena, Humberto Suazo, Jorge Valdivia, Juan Gonzalo Lorca, Gonzalo Jara, Rodrigo Meléndez and one with whom he had already met in the U20 team, Alexis Alejandro Sánchez Sánchez.

The Golden Generation of the national team
Apart from the public separation he had with Claudio Bravo (“we will never be friends again,” said the King), the Chilean team has been the most abundant source of friends for Arturo Vidal.
The list started early, when the midfielder was summoned by José Sulantay to the Under 20 team and began to interact with players such as Alexis, Carlos Carmona, Mauricio Isla and Gary Medel.

The list continues when Vidal dons the adult national team jersey. Players like Pablo Contreras, Fabián Orellana, Jean Beausejour, Nicolás Castillo, Eduardo Vargas, Mauricio Pinilla, Erick Pulgar and Charles Aránguiz appear in this chapter and are projected in the golden decade of La Roja.
The King had a disagreement with The Prince due to an Instagram story. But it was nothing. “As a friend of Arturo, I know what he plays and I love his sacrifice,” said Charles. “The Instagram thing was silly, we are friends,” added Arturo.

But those who marked a milestone were the members of the Skinny Band of the selection. Vidal, Valdivia, Jara, Bravo, Pinilla, Vargas, Beausejour and Medel became the hard core of La Roja … until the break between the King and Captain America.
Most of them were in Vidal’s religious marriage in 2014, and others such as Jose Pedro Fuenzalida. In addition, there was the former president of the ANFP, Sergio Jadue, and the former President of the Republic, Michelle Bachelet.

We arrived in Europe
With Vidal’s move to Bayer Leverkusen in 2007, new faces were added to the great Vidal family. Gonzalo castro approached him to help him with the language, but the best friends were Sami hyypia Y Joshua Kimmich.
Vidal had something special with Jupp heynckes, the Las Aspirinas technician. He spoke Spanish thanks to his time at Real Madrid and he was also Vidal’s great support when his first son was born with complications from diabetes. Then he wanted it at Bayern Munich.

But history wanted it to end in Italy, with Juventus. A cycle that was also marked in Vidal’s friendships. Andrea Pirlo, who is now the coach of Vecchia Signora, greets King on each of his birthdays. Gianluigi Buffon was another of his close ones.
The band became very popular in Italy and was led by Vidal and Martin Cáceres, the Uruguayan with whom he forged a friendship that lasts until today. Alessandro Matri, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini, Sebastian Giovinco they completed.

They are added Antonio ConteJuventine coach in those days and after a long wait he was able to recruit him with the Inter shirt. “If I have to go to war, I would like to have him on my side,” said the allenatore about the Chilean.
At Bayern Munich, Vidal enjoys his great status and adds new names to his whatsapp. Robert Lewandowski, Douglas Costa, Javi Martínez, Xabi Alonso, David Alaba, Kingsley Coman and especially Franck Ribery they become allies of King Arthur.
When Ribery went to Fiorentina, Vidal asked Erick Pulgar for the number 7 for his friend to take
But a separate chapter is written with two South Americans. The first is Rafinha Alcantara, with whom he promised to meet again with the Flamengo shirt in Brazilian football, and the second is James Rodriguez, one of the closest.
The Colombian even spent vacations with Vidal and between them there have been public displays of permanent support and interest, which have become material when they face the Chilean and Colombian teams.
