Juventus’ Arturo Vidal will never regret the decision of moving to the Turin giants rather than moving to the German juggernaut being Bayern Munich in the year of 2011.

The Bavarian outfit came very close having the Chilean international plying his trade with them before the Old Lady swooped on the attacking midfielder and made him the star that he is today and also one of the most wanted footballers in world for any team.

“I have never regretted the decision to not join Bayern because I’m convinced that Juve will soon be able to win the Champions League,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I joined a great club, with very strong teammates and an exceptional coach.

“Antonio Conte has enhanced my qualities and has got me to see football in a different way, a much more professional way. The coach is obsessed by a culture of work.”

Vidal has been one the most important players in the Juventus midfield alongside Andrea Pirlo, Claudio Marchisio, Paul Pogba and Stephan Lichsteiner.

“I have received offers from other teams, but my family always plays a decisive role in the decisions I make,” he added.

“I see that my wife and my son are very happy in Turin and then the value of Juventus is enormous.

“I have tattooed three stars and the two Scudetti won with Juventus because Italy is now in my heart, as is this club.”

Juve take on rivals Inter at the San Siro on Saturday and Vidal will be looking to impress and show what he is capable of.

“This is a game which I got to know as a youngster, thanks to my idols and countrymen – Ivan Zamorano and Marcelo Salas.

“I hope Inter are not like Antonio Conte’s first Juve. They are a new side with a new way of playing, with a very good coach. I saw their first two games and I have to say they played really well.

“Who would I take out of the Inter side? Fredy Guarin and also Rodrigo Palacio, who is a really strong player.”

The 26-year-old has played 66 matches and has been on the score-sheet 19 times.
