Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal is anxious to make the most of his opportunities to push for a regular play after assisting his team to grab victory over Cultural Leonesa. Vidal made just his third start for Barca as the LaLiga champions recorded a 1-0 win in the first leg of the Copa del Rey tie on Wednesday.
The Midfielder moved to Barcelona from Bayern Munich in August, said he wanted to capitalise on his opportunities when given the chance.
Vidal stated on the club website:
"I am taking advantage of the minutes that come my way to fight for a starting place, Barca needed a 91st-minute goal from Clement Lenglet to claim victory over their third-tier opponents.
Barca coach Ernesto Valverde hailed the performance of his team, who had three teenagers in the starting XI.
"The team had the right winning attitude, but it was hard to get our game flowing and we lost a lot of balls because they were coming in so strong," he said.
"Football is always a permanent test, but I did see a lot of good things.
"My players looked good. They shouldered a lot of responsibility. The youngsters are used to playing in Division 2B, but it was much harder because Cultural upped the intensity."
