5 Things Bayern Munich Fans Need To Know About Arturo Vidal

4. Massimiliano Allegri Has Turned Him Into A World Class Attacking Midfielder

Arturo Vidal started off as a defensive midfielder at Bayer Leverkusen and then developed into a fine box-to-box midfielder throughout his four years at the club. Last season under the management of Massimiliano Allegri he began to play behind the strikers (scoring three goals in 11 games) as part of a 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2 formation.
