As if it were a separate duel, every time Marcelo and Arturo Vidal – perhaps the franchise players of Fluminense and Colo Colo respectively – crossed paths on Tuesday night, sparks flew. It may have been due to the journey of each one, multiple champions, leaders of their teams and, until not long ago, rivals in the Spanish football classic. The Brazilian, idol of Real Madrid and the club’s top winner, Vidal, champion of La Liga and the Super Cup in two seasons with Barça. Definition of competitiveness even at 36 years old.
In fact, after 60 minutes of play, both went with everything they had in search of a divided ball and, although at first the ball stayed on the Brazilian’s side, Vidal immediately moved it out of the way with his body. Already on the field, the national midfielder confronted the Brazilian full-back and seemed to have insulted him, since both Lima and the referee concentrated their efforts on separating them.
But the fight didn’t stop there, no. Later, on social networks, the Flu idol did his thing. He posted three images and this message: “Very important victory. Maximum respect for football. Always putting everything in its place.”
The most striking thing? Of course, the second postcard shows him winning one-on-one against the King, who can barely notice turning his back on the play. One of those very direct hints. “Craque,” the official account of the Rio team quickly responded, and another dozen users, mostly Real Madrid fans, applauded the publication.
For now, after the 2 to 1 at the Maracaná, Marcelo seems to have won the first battle. What is certain is that Vidal will not want to lose the war.
