Arturo Vidal will not play in the Copa América, the tournament that he won in its two versions in its history: the conventional one, in 2015, and the Centenario, the following year. Those achievements put him in the history of the National Team and Chilean football. The Colo Colo midfielder, in fact, has been in charge of shining them proudly, to the point of generating hatred in the rest of South America, where first they called him arrogant and, then, they waited for any fall of his own and of La Roja to face it..
The King feels part of the National Team. Or, more precisely, He feels the National Team as his. For worse or worse, it is a fundamental part of obtaining both trophies, the only relevant ones that La Roja has seen in its history.
Along these lines, Vidal always felt the achievements he achieved with La Roja as his own. Without going any further, he has replicas of both trophies on the shelves of his home and has displayed them several times. Now, marginalized by Gareca from the national team and unable, at least, to have the option of aspiring to a third, he remembers his importance in obtaining the previous ones..
On his Instagram account, which has often been his trench to express opinions or, rightly, annoyance, Vidal claims his place, at least in history. He does it in a forceful way: he shows a replica of the trophy from the national team competition that Chile won in 2015 with a message that does not even need interpretation: “Mine”.
Add, in line with the language used on social networks, two emojis: one with a drink and another as a sign of sarcasm. The picture completes the clothing that I would use to train with the Colo Colo team, which wears the number 23which has accompanied him in many of the most glorious chapters of his career.
