Arturo Vidal relishing advanced Juventus role

Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal is enjoying a more advanced attacking midfield role so far this season for the Old Lady.

Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal has declared that he is enjoying a more advanced role for the Old Lady, after bagging a brace against Lazio last weekend.

Vidal scored twice in quick succession to help Antonio Conte's side continue their strong start in Serie A on Saturday, with a 4-1 success at home to the Coppa Italia holders.

The Chilean international has been pushed further forward by Conte in the absence of Claudio Marchisio, a position he is relishing.

He told La Tercera: "I feel really good in my current role. I have a lot of opportunities to get into the box and score.

"I have to try and free myself away from markers, but defend as well. I feel really comfortable at the moment."

The 26-year-old has now scored 24 times for Juve across 82 appearances in all competitions.
