Arturo Vidal has admitted that he is surprised by his goal-packed start to the season with Juventus.

The Chilean midfielder has scored nine goals in official games for the Old Lady this term, his latest coming in the 3-0 win over Chelsea on Tuesday.

“I’m happy to be scoring so many, I didn’t think I would begin the campaign like this in front of goal,” he noted.

“It’s important to keep going on this path, but above all by helping the team to win.

“It was a difficult game against Chelsea, but we played with intelligence. We put our head, heart and legs into this encounter.

“It’s a message to everyone, showing that we’re strong in Italy but also in Europe.”

Vidal has been a revelation in Turin since his 2011 switch from Bayer Leverkusen. “I’m happy to wear the shirt of Juventus, to play in front of these fans.

“I’m living through a beautiful moment of my life.”

If he stays healthy and keeps this up, Juventus is going to be getting huge offers for him this summer. Hopefully, we are able to keep him.

We should tie him down to a new and improved contract ASAP imo and make him one of our highest earners.

Good point. We could afford to give him a raise. Unless we have a major injury, the only position where we will likely need improvement will be in attack. We can continue to develop our young defenders and midfielders, but we need to make sure we keep players like Vidal.

Arturo Vidal v Chelsea: 63 passes, 94% pass accuracy, 4 key passes, 1 assist & 1 goal.

BeeeeeasT!
