The veteran defender has explained that the South American's love of a night on the tiles was his downfall
Giorgio Chiellini has claimed that only a taste for alcohol prevented former Juventus team-mate Arturo Vidal from reaching the very top of the game.
The Chile international has a chequered history in the game and was notably involved in a car crash during the 2015 Copa America in his homeland, in which he was found to have crashed his Ferrari while under the influence of alcohol.
Chiellini spent four years at Juventus with the 32-year-old, who has had subsequent spells with Bayern Munich and Barcelona, and said that his fondness for a drink was the only weakness he had in his make up.
