Low profile, Arturo Vidal. The Chilean community admitted Monday to have made a mistake in the controversy of the “hairdresser” after having violated the anti-covid health protocol. “In Chile we are used to it, we are always looking for things where there are none. We know we made a mistake, with this hairdressing story, but we weren’t planning on doing anything wrong.“Vidal said on the tournament’s official channel after the 1-1 draw against Uruguay in Cuiaba (center of Brazil) qualifying La Roja for the quarter-finals.
Thursday, on the eve of the match against Bolivia (1-0), Vidal and defender Gary Medel had posted on social networks photos showing them having their hair cut by a local hairdresser, apparently in the premises of the hotel where “la Roja” lodges. This stylist, Luis Fernando Gonçalves, broadcast the scene live on his Instagram account. Live video and photos showed Vidal, Medel and three other players (Eduardo Vargas, Guillermo Maripán y Pablo Galdames) getting their hair cut. The Chilean Federation on Sunday admitted the violation of the health bubble and announced that those involved would be “financially sanctioned“.

Vidal, who has regularly committed acts of indiscipline during his career, contracted Covid-19 earlier this month. Before the two qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup in June, the health secretariat of Santiago de Chile opened an investigation against the Inter Milan midfielder for violating special health rules for athletes and to determine the circumstances in which he was infected with.
