The Chilean faced a summer of continued transfer speculation and, whilst staying with the Bianconeri, has come under scrutiny for his slow start to the season.
“I think it wasn't a perfect year like the others,” Vidal has admitted to Al Aire Libre this week.
“But I did my best, I played the World Cup and we were champions with Juventus.

The Chilean faced a summer of continued transfer speculation and, whilst staying with the Bianconeri, has come under scrutiny for his slow start to the season.
“I think it wasn't a perfect year like the others,” Vidal has admitted to Al Aire Libre this week.
“But I did my best, I played the World Cup and we were champions with Juventus.
“This year I started a bit slower because of my knee problems, but now I'm fine. I hope to keep improving and to stay among the best in the world.”
In spite of the strong interest expressed by Manchester United, the player has discouraged speculation.
“I feel content and happy here. It's going to be my fourth year, I feel at home.
“Good things have happened in this period and we are getting set to play at our best, I'm happy about the result.
“There are always rumours, but I'm feeling relaxed. I only think about Juventus, I'm at 100 per cent right now, I'm training at the utmost to become one of the best.
“There are always rumours about the future, but I don't dwell on them, I've got a person to take care of that,” he said, referring to his agent.
Asked about his knee, Vidal said: “At first of course it was bothering me.
“The doctor told me that this trouble was going to persist for another two or three months and I worked on it.
“I played with the pain, but now I don't feel it anymore, I am improving every day and now I feel almost perfect.
“Now the tough games are coming and we hope to win.”
