Arturo Vidal has hit back at former Juventus team-mate Giorgio Chiellini.
This came after Chiellini comment saying in his autobiography that the Chilean's weakness was alcohol.
Vidal who is now at Barcelona, played at Juventus for four years said that although the midfielder was a "champion," his fondness for partying held him back.
Vidal didn't take kindly to his former team-mate's words, suggesting that he broke a code of silence in the dressing room,
"People have focused on the worst things Chiellini said. I don't see why one should say those things, it annoyed me," Vidal said in an Instagram Live chat.
"But he also said that I was a champion. He called me and explained to me. I didn't do anything I couldn't do. I was allowed to go out. I am a human being like everyone else. I work hard and if friends meet for an asado [social event] with the club's permission, I'll go too.
"If I have to stay focused, I do it, but when it's my turn to have fun I take advantage of it, I'm just like the others. When I was wrong, I paid and got up."
He added: "In football there are codes."
