Vidal: Dembele has to grow up to be the best; Griezmann is like a real Latin

Arturo Vidal spoke about his three Barcelona team-mates Ousmane Dembele and Antonie Griezmann.

Vidal talks about Dembele: “Ousmane is a footballer who has crazy talent. When he reaches maturity, he will be an important player for Barça and France. 

"But clearly, he has to grow up. Listen to your body, be better prepared to avoid injury. If you want to be the best, you have to think about football all time. I think Ousmane will realize at some point that he has to do more.”

"I talk to him a lot. He's a good boy and he's the first to want to be the best. He arrived at Barça at the age of 20, without much experience. 

"Ousmane must become aware of what he really wants in life, know where he plays and with whom he plays. But I think I see an evolution. It must continue that way.”

Vidal also talks about Griezmann, who he describes as “a great footballer, one of the best in the world. Make quick decisions, understand everything and have a real gift to mark. When the talents of Leo, Luis, Dembélé and Griezmann merge, it will hurt.” 

And he admits that Griezmann is part of the South American costume clan: “He looks like us. He runs all the time, returns to defend himself, leaves nothing. It is a wonderful added value for Barça. And he likes mate, reggaeton, a real Latin!“
