Arturo Vidal and his tears after the elimination of Chile and qualification for Peru to the repechage towards Qatar 2022

The Chilean team was left out of a world cup for the second time in a row and the one who suffered the most was Arturo Vidal, who could not avoid tears after a 2-0 defeat to Uruguay at the San Carlos de Apoquindo stadium, in the framework of the last date of the South American Qualifiers heading to Qatar 2022. In addition, Peru beat Paraguay by the same result and its participation in the top football party was completely ruled out.

After the final whistle of Paraguayan referee Éber Aquino, the player took his face and began to cry because of the painful moment he had to live in his career. The midfielder misses one world cup again after being left out of Russia 2018 and surely, due to his age (34), he will not be able to participate in the next one, this being his last chance in the role.

By coincidence, the one who takes the place in the repechage is the Peruvian national team, as happened in the previous qualifying process. On the last date of that tournament Conmebol 'La Roja' fell to Brazil on the last day and the 1-1 draw between Colombia and Peru ended up leaving him out.

Let's remember that Arturo Vidal is part of the golden generation that began with the Argentine Marcelo Bielsa in charge of the Chilean national team. He participated in the World Cup in South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014, in addition to winning the Copa America twice in a row. The first held in his native country and the second in the United States.
