Arturo Vidal's Humorous Revelation: Why He Skipped Training for a Week
Santiago, Chile - In a recent candid interview on "El Reinado de Vidal" podcast, Chilean football icon Arturo Vidal shared a surprising and humorous anecdote from his early career. Joined by two other hosts, Vidal reminisced about a time when financial constraints at his club led to an unusual training absence. One of the hosts recounted, "Vidal didn't go to train for a week." The reason, he explained, was that the club, Colo-Colo, was facing financial difficulties and couldn't afford new training balls. Players who lost a ball during practice were expected to pay for its replacement. "There was no money," the host stated, "Colo-Colo trained with balls from '84." Vidal, visibly amused and laughing, confirmed the story. "If you kicked it out, there was a wall, and outside there were people waiting for the ball to fall, and they would run and steal it," he added, describing the desperate measures players took to avoid losing balls. The anecdote highlights a stark contrast to the modern, well-funded football environment, offering a glimpse into the humble beginnings of one of Chile's most celebrated athletes. The lighthearted revelation provided a moment of laughter and reflection on the challenges faced by aspiring footballers in less privileged circumstances, emphasizing how such experiences might have inadvertently sharpened their skills to avoid costly mistakes.
