The touching stories of Vidal: As a child I suffered hunger, I was forced to be a football player

Arturo Vidal has a rich career in football playing for big teams like Juventus, Bayern, and Barcelona.

But he is remembered for many scandals, such as gambling alcohol and his private life has been unusual for a football player.

The following are some of Vidal's scandals and personal stories.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think about my childhood is hunger and the cold we had to endure:”

Being a football player was an obligation rather than a dream. I was 14 years old, and one day my mother returned completely exhausted, and I thought. This can't happen again. I must become footballer in any way. And I decided to make three, four, ten times as much effort as anyone in training to reach target”.

In his childhood story, Arthur ignores Erasmus, his father, for his alcohol problems.

On the day of his presentation with Bayerni, police arrested his father for carrying drugs and weapons. The phrase that Arturo shared the case with said:

He has his life I have mine. He's old and he knows what he's doing. I myself have a family with my wife, two children, and my mother.

Even Vidal's life has not been immune to controversy. Some of them have been well - known. The first one to be remembered is in 2007 at the U-20 World Cup in Canada. He was arrested and cuffed after a quarrel with police, whom Vidal and his colleagues accused of using racist expressions.

Four years later, accompanied by Gonzalo Jara, Jean Beauseyour, Carlos Carmona, and Jorge Valdivea, he appeared drunk on the team after attending the baptism of Valdivea's son. All were punished with 20 untreated games, although after apologizing, the sentence finally landed in five matches.

In the same year, his other symptoms of drinking during a gathering of the Chilean team placed him in the eye of the hurricane. This time he was accompanied by Gary Meldel. They appeared in a video with the Colombian model Monica Jimenez, then partner of the former Seville player. I had two drinks, I had an accident. I risked the lives of my wife, of many people. I'm so sorry.

But it wasn't the last. In 2015, days before the finals of Copa America, Vidal had an automobile accident.

The photos of his ruined Ferrari immediately became viral. The midfielder received no punishment and held a press conference to apologize.

I had two drinks, then I had an accident that everyone knows. I have risked the lives of my wife, of many people. I'm sorry”, he said through tears.

Vidal is known for his fighting style and he boasts of it. He went off against the Judge in the match against Real when he was busted red.

Two goals offside, non-red card on Cassimoros, which was to be punished before me... Isn't this a clear robbery? Said Vidal at the time.
