He may not be every culers cup of tea, but there’s little doubt what Arturo Vidal brings to the current Barca side.
Some players have been routinely questioned because of their lack of commitment to the cause, of not busting a gut to track back and because of seemingly pulling out of tackles.
Gerard Pique against Atleti would be one such case in point for the latter.
Vidal on the other hand is completely the opposite. A whirling dervish of a midfielder, age has not wearied him, and for all of Barca’s intricate passers, sometimes a battering ram is needed to tear down the walls.
