Arturo Vidal Praises Felipe Loyola in His Streams

Chilean footballer Arturo Vidal, a figure of Colo-Colo, praised his compatriot Felipe Loyola, a prominent player of Independiente in the current Apertura Tournament of the Professional Football League. Vidal, in his regular broadcasts, highlighted Loyola's performance in the 'Red' team of Avellaneda, one of the tournament's key players.

'Loyola is a great player who has matured a lot and has worked hard. His physique has improved; I think he must have gained five kilos of pure muscle mass because he realized that what he thought about football when he left Colo-Colo was not enough,' expressed Vidal about his teammate from the Chilean national team.

Loyola was trained at Colo-Colo and, despite having been a champion in several lower categories, he could not show all his potential at the club, which led to his sale to modest Arturo Fernández Vidal, recently promoted to the First Division. Regarding this situation, Vidal commented: 'They say he slipped away from Colo-Colo, but that's not true; he just prepared differently outside.'

The Independiente midfielder has grown, matured, learned, and worked hard to reach where he is currently, according to the highlighted points from the Chilean footballer. Vidal valued Loyola's effort and dedication, emphasizing his constant work and preparation.
