Barcelona midfielder Vidal snaps back at Chiellini Juventus training claims

Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal is unhappy with the claims of former Juventus teammate Giorgio Chiellini.

Chiellini has suggested that Vidal would skip training due to his nights out or where he would attend looking 'rather merry.'

Speaking to Mario Velasco on Instagram Live. Vidal hit back at the accusations and accused Chiellini of breaking the player's code.

“People have focused on the worst things Chiellini said," he said, “And I don't see why one should mention those things, it annoyed me, but he said I was a champion too.

“It wasn't something I couldn't do. I was allowed to go out. I'm a human being like everyone else. I work hard and if my friends meet for a BBQ, 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. And when I made a mistake, I paid and stood up.

“In football there are codes."
