Florida Cup: Emerson lauds Chile

The former Brazilian midfielder praised Arturo Vidal and Charles Aránguiz.

As part of the "Game of the Stars" that took place Tuesday at one of UCF's Orlando fields, former Brazil international Emerson demonstrated why he played in the "Verdeamarelha," still displaying the level he showed at clubs like Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Roma and Juventus in a match where he shared the field with Cafú, Cléber, and Marcos Assuncao, among others.

His career in Germany was similar to Chilean Arturo Vidal, he said.

"Vidal is a player that I really like, I've always liked, he's very dynamic, he's very intelligent and he's at an optimum level, he's part of the world elite," he told Goal.
