Pinilla: Vidal will succeed at Bayern

EXCLUSIVE: The Atalanta striker has dismissed doubts about his compatriot's temperament and discipline, saying the midfielder has great character.

Mauricio Pinilla says that there is no doubt that Arturo Vidal will prove a big hit at Bayern Munich, claiming his Chile teammate is a success wherever he goes.

Vidal finally completed his 40 million euro ($44 million) move from Juventus to the Bundesliga champion Thursday, with the midfielder signing a four-year contract with the Bavarians.

The 28-year-old proved a big hit in Turin following his 2011 arrival from Bayer Leverkusen but he found it difficult to produce his best form last season, as he struggled to recover from a nagging knee problem that hindered him in 2014.
