Avoiding self-criticism, Arturo Vidal limited himself to criticizing Alianza Lima’s approach, following their goalless draw in the third round of the Copa Libertadores group stage.

Jorge Almirón’s team was unable to overcome the Peruvian team, which with this result has two draws and one loss.

And at the end of the game, Vidal spoke to ESPN, where he criticized the defensive approach of those led by Alejandro Restrepo.

The former Inter Milan and Barcelona of Spain said he finished the match with “a little bitterness”.

In his opinion, Colo Colo was “at all times searching for the goal” and that Alianza came “to do their job, get in the back, wait for a mistake from us.”

For the star of the golden generation, he stressed that the people of Lima were “never a rival”, but accepted that they could not against the visitors’ tight defence.

“It’s annoying when you have the ball the whole game and the ball doesn’t want to go in.”Vidal said, adding that “it has happened to us several times.”

Of course, he said that it gives him “peace of mind” that they are “a team that always plays, always controls the games and that, on the one hand, leaves us calm, but we have to win.”

It should be noted that Arturo Vidal received a yellow card at the end of the second half in Macul, which means that he will be suspended for the match against Fluminense, which will also be played in Chile on May 9.

“I didn’t know, but hey, it is”Vidal apologized and then added that “anyone who comes in for my position is going to do well, so it’s not a problem, we have a lot of confidence in all our teammates.”

Finally, he said he was “a little sad” about the lackluster draw against Alianza and thanked “the people for their love, for their support, and for telling them we’re going to get the three points in Paraguay and Peru.”
