BAYERN MUNICH boss Jupp Heynckes has revealed he called out star Arturo Vidal for being out of shape.

The Chilean produced a man of the match display as he scored one and provided another in the 3-0 victory over Augsburg on Saturday.

However, until then he had endured a mediocre campaign with the Bundesliga giants that led to the veteran 72-year-old coach calling him out for being out of shape.

Heynckes, who returned to Bayern as Carlo Ancelotti‘s replacement last month, revealed to Bild: “I had a conversation with him two-and-a-half weeks ago.

“I told him that I was not so happy with his physical condition and that he needs to make a difference if he wants to play.

“He did not quite see it that way but, from that point on, he trained differently.

“I know what type of performances he is capable of from our time together at Leverkusen – the way he played today that’s how he played during my first year there, often scoring goals and full of strong running. I expect that from him.”

Vidal’s strike was his second of the season out of the 15 appearances he has made for the club.
