Arturo Vidal advises Brereton via WhatsApp: “He is doing everything possible to be there”

Arturo Vidal already beats the last double date of the Qualifiers. The midfielder wants to have the complete litter to fight for qualification for Qatar 2022. This was made clear in a conversation with TNT Sports. “We depend a lot on Ben (Brereton), also on Alexis (Sánchez), on Eduardo (Vargas), we need them all,” he said.

The case of the Blackburn Rovers striker is special, since his presence is conditional on the evolution of the sprain he suffered. In this context, if there is someone who knows how to play despite the problems, it is Vidal. The one from Inter arrived with just enough to the 2014 World Cup and in more than one game he left his physical decline in the background to contribute.

In this way, he assures that he has talked with Brereton via WhatsApp and that he has given her some advice to be able to say present in the matches against Brazil and Uruguay: “He is doing everything possible to be there, I recently gave him some advice. I told him some things about what I have done to be able to be in the important games. Everything goes in the head, wanting to be there, defending a country”.

The irruption of Ben Brereton has been fundamental in the rise that La Roja had. The gunner has played six games in this Qualifiers, with four wins for Chile and two losses. Without him, the Everyone’s Team has played 11 games and could only win one.

In the six matches he played, he contributed three goals. One every two duels. That indisputable contribution, Vidal is clear about it. “He is a goalscorer, an English striker, at first he converts. He does things that others don’t. He helps a lot in marking, he covers spaces, sometimes he helps as a left back. He is always ready to pounce and look for a ball to score. It is connected without speaking the same language”, were the praises of the steering wheel.

For the one trained in Colo Colo, it is valuable that soccer players born in other latitudes choose to defend Chile. “Not much happens, it’s not like in Europe that always happens,” he assured.

To end, points out that the scorer conquered the group with his fortitude to join despite the difficulties. “We came with a loss of players. He won the affection of the group for his way of being and of the people for what they do on the field”, he affirmed.
