It was officially announced that Arturo Vidal would join Inter Milan |

Arturo Vidal officially joined Inter Milan. The Chilean midfielder joined Inter Milan in a permanent transfer from Barcelona.

A few steps, often barefoot. Young Arturo will leave his home in Calle Aníbal with his sister and head to "cancha", the only real attraction in the Vasco neighborhood of San Joaquin, Chile. There he would have his sister guard the goal and help him practice his right-footed shooting skills. These were Arturo's carefree moments of happiness, and he soon earned the nickname "Cometierra" among his neighbors; he played day and night, always coming home covered in dust. There is an inextricable link between Vidal and Vasco. Growing up there is not easy, and many families face financial pressure. Vidal's football career began with a muddy pitch whose borders were cut in half by the tires of the wheels. In such an environment, the young Arturo carried the difficult years.

Arturo was born on 22 May 1987 (a date of great significance in Inter Milan's history), and when we look back on his youth, one name keeps repeating: Rodriento Roman. His scrap recycling company provided jobs and food to many people in San Joaquin, including Arturo's father and grandfather. He was almost a fabulous figure in the local area, so much so that today Vasco's team is also renamed after him.

Arturo Vidal's football career also began in the team named after Rodrigo Roman. Football was the spark of inspiration for him, and his mother Jacques was the guiding light on his path to growth. In a recent interview, Vidal was asked, "Who was your idol when you were a kid?" His answer was, "My mother." "Idol, a man he can count on. It was a tough time for Arturo and his brothers: they often came home to find no food on the table. They ran around in the mud and kicked the ball at a neighbor's house. In those years, Arturo began to build armor that belonged to the Warriors, promising, "I want to be a footballer." ”

At the age of 12, Vidal rode his bicycle to Kolokolo for a trial. However, this long journey did not bring the desired result, and he had to return to Vasco to continue playing football. There, he always outperformed his peers; by the time he was 11, he was already playing with his 15-year-old. Three years later, after another trial, he was finally admitted to the Colocolo team and showed enough discipline on the pitch. Initially he played as a defender on the pitch, energetic and full of strength on his right foot. In order to let her son continue to pursue his dreams, his mother gave everything for him, set up a stall on the street, and dedicated all her energy to her children. In 2005, Arturo received a phone call while he was playing chess with his uncle. On the other end of the phone was Kolokolo's coach, Dabrovsky, who invited Arturo to join the first team, who rushed to prepare his own things, even though he could not have a brand new pair of sneakers. Arturo used his first income to take his mother to the shopping mall. It's a luxury to be in a place where life is so hard.

Arturo's first two games for the team were in the final two rounds of the season, when Colocolo had already locked up the league title. In the next two seasons, they were also able to win the championship. Under Claudio Borghi, Vidal began to grow. Alexis Sanchez also played for Kolo Colocolo at the time, and now they are reunited at Inter Milan. In addition to the transformation on the pitch, Arturo's appearance has also changed, for which he has also earned a new nickname. For a while, teammates called him Celia Cruz, the name of a Cuban musician. Until one day, he appeared in the dressing room with a different look , a Mohican hairstyle. From that day on, he was known as "Celia Punk".

But even so, deep down, he never changed. If he wants to succeed in life, he has only one choice: football. It was this attitude that gave him a warrior spirit on the pitch, and "Guerrero" was a nickname his mother gave him.

In 2007, Bayer Leverkusen took a fancy to the Chilean midfielder, and the Bundesliga team's sporting director Rudy Waller expressed great interest in him. Waller traveled to Chile to investigate Humberto Suazzo, but was attracted to Vidal and decided to take him to Europe. Since then, Vidal's football career has ushered in a new chapter, although it is thousands of kilometers away from Vasco, he has always been in contact with his homeland and remembers the stadium in his hometown. As a warrior on the pitch, the pitch is the closest he feels to home, and his desire to win makes him hold on to it.

Although the time at Leverkusen was not smooth, these four years were a period of growth for Vidal. In his final season at The Pharmaceutical Factory, he scored 13 goals and became the true leader of the team. He then joined Antonio Conte's Juventus, a pivotal period in his career. At Juventus he became an all-around midfielder, a real winner. More goals followed, with seven goals in the Bianconeri's first season, 15 in his second, 18 in his third and eight in his final season.

After leaving Juventus, Vidal played for Bayern Munich and Barcelona. As a champion "regular", he won the league title in three different leagues for eight consecutive seasons. And that's not all, he won two Copa America with the Chilean national team, which delighted the entire Chilean nation, and became one of the key figures in the national team's good contact with the Chilean people.

This is Arturo Vidal, who is now the owner of the Rodrindo Romain club. With his help, the team was reinvigorated. He not only invested in the club, but also supported a number of projects in Vasco. No matter which stadium he is on, no matter where the ball rolls, his heart is with his hometown and with the beautiful football. The stadium is where Vidal puts on the warrior's armor, but in the depths of his heart he often remembers his mother Jacqui. When he was a child, whenever he was hungry, he would return home with a face full of dirt, and his mother would always wait for him at the door.

From today onwards, Vidal will fight alongside the Nerazzurri. His goal doesn't change – fight, fight with all his might, win. He will be the sixth Chilean player in Inter Milan's history, the first being Ivan Zamorano, who is also a natural fighter, in addition to David Pizarro, Luis Jimenez, Gary Medel and Alexis Sanchez.

Now we can confirm that Vidal has come to Milan and officially become a member of Inter Milan. Welcome, Arturo!
