Flamengo He celebrated over the weekend, sharing the joy with his fans after being crowned champions of the Copa Libertadores and Copa do Brasil. The downtown streets of Rio de Janeiro, packed with fans, were the epicenter of the celebration, which was attended by almost all members of the Dorival Júnior squad.
One of the most effusive players at the party was the Chilean Arturo Vidal, who was seen in a state of apparent drunkenness with some attitudes that drew attention. The images of the King climbing onto the railing Leonardo DiCaprio-style in the film Titanic and being held by two companions who were trying to hydrate him went viral on social media.
The player who played for Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Inter, among others, was one of the most cheered by the fans who filled the streets of Rio to celebrate the titles of the MengaoHowever, the 35-year-old midfielder ended up with excesses and attitudes that were evident. The Chilean could not stand and had to be held by Flamengo staff as he stood on the railing of the truck's roof to greet the fans. They then tried to give him water, but Vidal spat it out and let his head fall to the side of his body.
The footballer also starred in another controversy in the last hours on his social networks with a survey on his account Instagram in which he asked his followers to vote for his continued participation in the Chilean national team: “Should I retire or not?”. Minutes before, in his account Twitter, the trans-Andean had published: "I think Chile's time has come, and we have to decide what's best for everyone. Do we keep going or do we keep going?".
Vidal arrived at Flamengo in July 2022 after having been close to signing with Boca Juniors. The Chilean chose the Brazilian side with the dream of winning the Copa Libertadores for the first time, a goal he achieved on October 29 in Guayaquil in the final against Athletico Paranaense. In the continental tournament, Arturo played five matches, none of which lasted 90 minutes. In the Brasileirao and Copa do Brasil, he played 21 matches and scored two goals.
After winning the Libertadores and earning the right to participate in the Club World Cup, Vidal sent a spicy message to Real Madrid (2021/22 Champions League winners). “Madrid, we’re going to break your a—”, the Chilean expressed effusively in the midst of the celebration.
"Real Madrid took two Champions League titles from me, but it wouldn't be revenge.""It would be a great opportunity for Flamengo to continue making history," said the former Atlético de Madrid full-back in the mixed zone, after losing to their arch-rivals in the 2014 and 2016 Champions League finals.
