Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal has admitted that he feels at home in Turin and has drawn a number of similarities between his current city and his home country Chile.
Speaking ahead of his side’s Coppa Italia final against Lazio on Wednesday at the Stadio Olimpico, Vidal also seemed to entertain the idea of permanently moving to Turin.
“In Turin I feel like my home,” said the Chilean according to 24Horas.
“The people are very warm, just like Chileans, and very much Latin. They greet me when I walk in the street. I could stay in Turin all my life.
“Also, Juventus is one of the best teams in the world. It is really hard to change clubs when one is so happy. ”
The 27-year-old also believes that the Bianconeri have done something spectacular by reaching the finals of Champions League.
“It is a long time since there was an Italian team in the final,” he continued. “And what we have done is spectacular as we have already won the league and now want to win the Champions League,
“My knee is 100 percent normal. They have taken the best care of me and I feel the best I have ever done.”
Vidal also promised Chile’s fans that they will fight right till the very end in the upcoming edition of the Copa America that starts in June.
“I will give my maximum to Chile. I’m not saying that we will become champions, but we want to make the fans happy,” he concluded.
The Chilean has made 43 appearances for Juventus in all competitions this season, scoring eight goals and notching up four assists.
