"I am have and I know that good moment will come," he said. "Moment I will enjoy and do what I know how to do."

Reports suggest Vidal lacks the respect of his teammates while Ernesto Valverde refused to be drawn on Vidal's anger at lack of playing time and said he didn't know if he was angry or not having been dropped for the Spurs game in Wembley recently.
