Following an outburst from the substitutes' bench that put him perilously close to having his time in Brazil end, Arturo Vidal has found himself in trouble with his new team, Flamengo.
The Chilean midfielder, who has played for Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Juventus among other top European clubs, was furious that he wasn't substituted in the match against Boavista.
He consequently threw his boots and water bottle to the ground in a fit of rage as his team was already up 1-0 and the manager, Vitor Pereira, had decided that his introduction was unnecessary.
After losing to Al-Hilal 3-2 on Tuesday in the Club World Cup semifinals, Flamengo was eliminated from the competition. .
On his Twitch channel, he had previously made a public declaration that he wanted to leave the team and urged his old team Colo-Colo to pursue him if they wanted to win the Copa Libertadores.
According to reports, the 35-year-old has been warned that one more outburst of dissent or frustration at the club will result in the termination of his contract in Rio de Janeiro. As a result of his poor behavior, it is believed that the player has been forced to accept a 10% pay cut.
'If Colo-Colo wants to win the Copa Libertadores, they should come and see me in Rio,' the Chilean legend said on the streaming platform.
After spending his lengthy and successful career bouncing around several of Europe's top clubs, Vidal joined the Brazilian club in 2022 on a free transfer from Italian powerhouse Inter Milan.
Even though Vidal only played 20 senior games for Colo-Colo and only scored three goals, Bayer Leverkusen first noticed him there. Vidal went on to become well-known at clubs like Bayern, Juve, and Barca.
