チリ代表追放のビダルはユベントスへ帰還！！

Juventus star sent home from Chile international squad(football italiano)

Recent Juventus signing Arturo Vidal and Atalanta midfielder Carlos Carmona were removed from the Chilean national squad ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Uruguay.

The players were suspended for arriving 45 minutes after their curfew time of 10 p.m. Three other players, Jorge Valdivia, Jean Beausejour and Gonzalo Jara, were also suspended from the squad.

Chile national coach Claudio Borghi told the Santiago Times that the players were "not in a suitable condition" when they arrived. "If you ask me whether they were drunk, I haven't got a clue, but they were not in a reasonable state." Borghi also stated that he found out they were drunk by following the players back to their rooms, something he normally does not do.

"I never go into their rooms, but yesterday I did and what I saw made a very bad impression on me."

This is not the first time Chilean players have misbehaved but it is a first for the Serie A stars. A similar incident occurred in 2007 and Valdivia was one of the members of the team who was involved.

According to Radio Cooperativa, Jara, Valdivia, Beausejour and Carmona are scheduled to give a press conference to explain their actions on Thursday. Vidal is reported to have returned to Turin.

チリ代表の５人の選手が午後１０時の門限を４５分も破り、代表から追放された問題で、ユベントス所属のアルトゥーロ・ビダルはそのままトリノへと戻ったと報じられている。

チリ代表で同じような問題が起こったのは初めてではなく、過去にも同じようなことはあったようだ。

しかし、ビッグクラブのトッププレーヤーが起こすのは初めてのことで、ビダルのプロ意識の低さは責められるべきだろう。代表追放は当然で、ユベントスで反省し、結果を残して立ち直ったと証明しなければならない。

コンテは夜もチーム全員のことを考えるというが、ビダルに厳重注意をして最低限のルールを守るよう教育しなければならないだろう。

楽しみは必要だが、サッカー選手は体が資本。ファンに喜んでもらうためには、節制が必要であることも学ばなければならない。
