Surreal presentation of Arturo Vidal, lands on pitch by helicopter and parades
Arturo Vidal

Midfielder Arturo Vidal experienced an eclectic celebration on Thursday as he arrived by helicopter at the Monumental Stadium, then took an Olympic lap around the pitch on a black horse and dressed in the style of the legend of King Arthur, preceded by a Traditional 'pachanga', 'techno', 'reggaeton' and 'trap' music. Such was the presentation of the midfielder to Colo Colo fans, in his return to Chilean football after 17 years.

"I would be lying if I said I ever dreamed of something like this. It was really great to see the stadium full. I don't know if anything like this has been seen in any other country," he later said at a press conference for press, because when he had the opportunity to speak in front of 35 thousand attendees, his words were drowned in tears of emotion.

"It's very difficult", - he managed to pronounce in front of the microphone standing in the central circle of the field of the Albo team, in the Chilean capital, which was full to wait for the 36-year-old footballer, who returns to the team with him which he debuted as a professional, after 17 years playing abroad.

"I am grateful to the people of 'Colocolino'. One believes that they love one more abroad than in their own country, but today I see that this is not the case. The way they received me was extraordinary", he admitted later at the conference for press.

Vidal's emotion was real and could be seen before arriving at his presentation, when a video was projected on the stadium screen in which he commented on his earlier feelings: "I'm very nervous, I couldn't sleep waiting for this day".

The show, which lasted an hour, started with the introduction of Chilean artists Pablito Pesadilla, Mary la cumbia de barrio and American Sound. The highlight was the appearance of the helicopter flying over the stadium and landing on the pitch, to land Vidal there.

Then came the horse and all the garments, which included a king's crown and a sword, which was given in his hand. He should not have taken it from a stone like 'Excalibur', in the legend of "King Arthur", a character in European literature.

"I was the first to ride a horse here on the Colo Colo field," Vidal later said, but he was not the first to arrive by helicopter, because the white and white club had already used the flying vehicle in the traditional presentation, since that case was for the newly hired coach, Nelsinho Baptista.

With his right leg, the one with the knee operated on last September, he launched balls towards the stadium stands to make an offer. The fans were rewarded for their participation and among the gifts given were 10 people, who can have lunch with their idol.

Of all the great returns of Chilean football figures such as Jorge Toro, Elías Figueroa, Carlos Caszely, Patricio Yáñez, Iván Zamorano and Matías Fernández, also to Colo Colo and which had 10 thousand people in 2019, Vidal marks a precedent.

The Chilean footballer with the most titles won, 25 such, was entrusted with the shirt number 8. "We hope that the stadium is always like this (full) and we win another Libertadores, why not?" - said Vidal to those present.
