Bidon praises Corinthians preparation and eyes Libertadores: “High hopes” | OneFootball

Midfielder Breno Bidon praised Corinthians’ preparation at the start of this FIFA international break. Timão has trained over the last three days at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava ahead of the match against Fluminense, valid for the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship.

According to the player, Timão’s focus during this period has been on the attacking side. The team is going through a poor spell in attack and has scored only four goals in its last seven matches.

“Preparation has been very good. We’re making the most of the FIFA break with good training sessions. That can only help us. We’ve been working on the attacking side. We need to keep working with a clear head. Our team has a lot of potential. I believe that if we keep working like this, we’ll improve a lot,” the player told Corinthians TV.

Eager for the Libertadores

In the coming days, Corinthians will make their Copa Libertadores debut. This year, Timão was drawn into Group E and will fight for a spot with Peñarol-URU, Santa Fé-COL and Platense-ARG.

Bidon said he is eager to play in the Libertadores for the second time with Corinthians’ first team and mentioned the squad’s positive expectations for the continental tournament.

“Of course we think about it. We know it will be a competition of a very high level. We’ll be playing in the Libertadores again and also in the Copa do Brasil, which thank God we managed to win. Our expectations are very good. We have to work hard and, who knows, maybe make it to the finals and become champions again,” he concluded.

Timão will make their Libertadores debut against Platense on April 9 (Thursday). Kickoff is at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
