Vidal made the declaration while speaking with Javier Correa on his YouTube channel. The Argentine striker received a sanction from the Disciplinary Tribunal over gestures made during the Superclásico.

In his characteristically playful style, Vidal joked that Correa had “arrived fired up” after appearing before the tribunal. He then turned sharply against the process, asking, “How much are they going to try to bring us down? Why so much hatred? They don’t want to see Colo-Colo doing well.”

Vidal argued that tribunal sessions should be shown live so the public could see the members’ reactions during the arguments. “If you go there and they already have the punishment decided, there is no point in going,” he said.

He ended by backing Correa and urging him to stay firm. “I can assure you they were not looking for those gestures at the Universidad de Chile players. They found an image to use against you. We have to keep going like this, strong,” Vidal said.
