The Chilean national team manager Claudio Borghi has said that he is likely to use the Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal in a defensive position when Chile take on Columbia in the World Cup qualifying match. The 25-year-old Arturo Vidal is regarded as one of the best players within the team.
He is coming on the back of a very successful season with his club team Juventus. Chile have been extraordinarily good in the World Cup qualifying campaign this time around, and they are currently in the second position in the table. They are one of the favourites to seal a spot in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Arturo Vidal has become a regular starter for both Juventus and Chile in the last few seasons. He has managed to combine the defensive midfield role along with a box to box midfielder quite easily. The 25-year-old has scored some vital goals for both club and country in the last few seasons. However, he is likely to be used as an enforcer in a match against Colombia, as Chile will be looking to get at least a point from this match. They need to be extremely aware of the Colombian striker Falcao , who is regarded as one of the best in the world.
“There is nothing to discuss. I need a free (player) and Arturo gave me his availability (for the role). I’m available. I’ll play where I’ll be most useful,” said the Chilean national team manager in a recent interview. Chile come into the match after having lost the recent friendly match against Ecuador 3-0. It has somewhat taken the shine out of the brilliant qualification campaign so far. Prior to the Ecuador match, Chile had two successive victories against Bolivia and Venezuela in the World Cup qualifying.
