Arturo Vidal: "Pirlo? If he was incredible as a player, imagine him as a coach. He has a real vision of the sport that very few have ever had in football, so I think he can do really well." [yt: daniel habif]

Vidal: "We spent four years together and won the Scudetto four times, so if he were to call me, I’d be happy."

Vidal: "Conte? He is like a machine, he is tactically the best. As for my future, I’m relaxed, we’ll see what happens. I am very fond of Barcelona, but we’ll see."

Vidal: "Barça have to change their way of thinking. DNA is lagging behind. Football now is more focused on strength and speed."

Vidal: "Barça cannot have a first team with 13 'veterans' and for the rest players of the youth academy. You need competition to improve."

Vidal: "Messi? He's an alien, but he also needs help."
