Ancelotti assesses Corinthians midfielder Breno Bidon after Brazil debut | OneFootball

Carlo Ancelotti offered a concise assessment of Brazil’s newcomers, highlighting Corinthians midfielder Breno Bidon for showing his qualities. According to Meu Timao, the Corinthians midfielder made his first two appearances for the national side in this window.

Bidon was unused in the first game against Australia, then came on for eight minutes in the second. He played 23 in Saturday’s win over India in Kolkata, threading passes in behind and testing the keeper from range.

Ancelotti felt Jair performed very well, said Gabriel Bontempo was stronger in the first match than the second, and praised Arthur Dias and the goalkeepers. He added that in those aspects the team are in a good place.

He called the period very interesting, saying he now has a much clearer idea for the next squad and does not expect to change much. He also said other youngsters who were not involved this time will be in the next squad.

There were nine debutants among the 26 called up, with fellow Corinthian Matheuzinho starting twice and featuring in all three friendlies. Pedro Morisco, Otávio, Arthur Dias, Jair, Mauro Júnior, Martinelli and Gabriel Bontempo also won first caps.

Brazil face Singapore and Japan in November friendlies. Bidon, Matheuzinho and goalkeeper Hugo Souza await another opportunity under the Italian. The trio are due back at CT Joaquim Grava on Tuesday, with Corinthians visiting Internacional on Wednesday at 19:30 at Beira-Rio in the 29th round of the Brasileirão.
