Arturo Vidal spoke without filters in his most recent interview with the Argentine Davoo Xeneize. In a more relaxed atmosphere, King felt comfortable to shoot at the Chilean press, ensuring that the media expect defeats for the team to criticize.
“In Chile we have never been candidates for anything. If it were the press, Chile always has to do badly, and I’m telling you, the mentality inside, of the players, we had faith in each other,” King said.
In addition, he referred to a journalist in particular, but anonymously: “I won’t name names, but there is a guy who talks pure shit, appears on several programs. I won’t make anyone famous, he’s really badass. “They’re looking for the bad guy.”
The player referred to Cristián Caamaño, who in his capacity as a commentator on Radio Agricultura came out to respond with all the player’s attacks.
“The same press that, he doesn’t remember, but in which many did not want him to be removed from the national team when everyone, with half a brain, understood that his crash in the Ferrari was cause for his departure from the national team” , the journalist started saying.
“Arturo Vidal forgets many things”
In that sense, he declared that “Vidal forgets many things. He forgets that the press blocked his exit at Monticello before the match with Paraguay, which Chile lost 3-0 in the previous Qualifiers; when he closed the apartment there at the exit of Santiago and the police arrived at 6:30 in the morning to end the party.”

“So, really Arturo Vidal, what is it going to be good for us if Chile does badly? When the press protected you your entire career, it covered all of these and all of these too, like when Sampaoli sent you back in September 2015 in a friendly with Paraguay, back to Germany,” he added.
To close, Caamaño said that “if we spoke, Arturo Vidal, believe me that your career in the national team would possibly have lasted until the Ferrari.”
