<h3 style="text-align: justify"><strong><em>Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola refused to comment Thursday on the imminent arrival of Chile's Copa America-winning playmaker Arturo Vidal from Juventus.</em></strong></h3> <h3 style="text-align: justify"></h3> <p style="text-align: justify">Guardiola had just watched his side beaten 5-4 on penalties by Chinese champions Guangzhou Evergrande after a goalless friendly and the Spaniard preferred instead to praise the efforts of his opponents while lauding the success of his team's pre-season China tour.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Just before kick-off on Thursday, Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed he had agreed a deal for Vidal bringing an end to the speculation that had followed his club on their three-match tour.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"I can confirm that there is an agreement between the two parties (Bayern and Juventus). He still needs a medical but if everything goes as planned, he should be training with us next week," said Rummenigge. The deal is reported to be worth 35 million euro ($38.5 million).</p> <p style="text-align: justify">But Guardiola was adding nothing. a Therea s no comment because he has not signed,a said the manager at the post-match press conference.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"Tonight was a wonderful match and I am completely satisfied with the condition of my players after this tour,a Guardiola said.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Bayern had beaten Valencia 4-1 in Beijing last Saturday, and Inter Milan 1-0 in Shanghai on Tuesday before their defeat on penalties in Guangzhou.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"Generally speaking, the training here was good. In Beijing and Shanghai it was very good, but we didna t have enough time for a full session in Guangzhou.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"We won twice but the results dona t matter too much. No players got injured so that was very good for us."</p> <p style="text-align: justify"></p> <h2 style="text-align: justify">Bundesliga return</h2> <p style="text-align: justify"></p> <p style="text-align: justify">The 28-year-old Vidal will be a replacement in midfield for former captain Bastian Schweinsteiger who departed for Manchester United earlier this month.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Vidal returns to the Bundesliga after having played 144 games and scoring 21 goals in a four-year spell at Bayer Leverkusen.</p> . <p style="text-align: justify">He moved to the Turin club in 2011, making 124 Serie A appearances and scoring 35 goals.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Rummenigge had also confirmed earlier that striker Thomas Mueller was going nowhere, despite reports this week that Manchester United were poised to launch a 100 million euro ($109 million) bid to lure the World Cup winner.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"You cana t put a price on certain players. Wea d be out of our minds to let a player like him leave," said Rummenigge on the Bayern club website. "It's all hot air."</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Unfortunately it was Mueller who was the only man to fluff a penalty on the night, handing Guangzhou a famous 5-4 shootout win over the German champions when keeper Cheng Zeng made an instant hero of himself by saving the striker's tame effort.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">A packed Tianhe stadium of around 25,000 fans had been treated to plenty of chances from both sides in a lively encounter.</p> <p style="text-align: justify"></p> <h2 style="text-align: justify">Robinho debut</h2> <p style="text-align: justify"></p> <p style="text-align: justify">Evergrande boss Luiz Felipe Scolari made good on his vow to give a debut to fellow Brazilian Robinho -a who only arrived in China on Tuesday -a alongside compatriots Paulinho and Ricardo Goulart.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Guangzhou started brightly, particularly Robinho who played 45 minutes and was a constant threat.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"I think hea s lived up to our expectations, hea s really is a great player,a said Scolari afterwards.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"Hea s not trained for 15 days and he gave them trouble so I think once we work with him he'll be a very good player for us, and of course score a lot of goals.a </p> <p style="text-align: justify">The visitors upped the pace when Mueller and Thiago entered the fray after half-time,but they could not find a way past an inspired Cheng between the Guangzhou posts.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">a It was great opportunity to compete against a great team and we had our chances. I think this was a wonderful game for our fans,a said Scolari.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">a Of course our players will learn a lot coming up against Bayern and that will help us with the rest of our season.a </p>
