Bidon reveals Memphis insight, surprised he stayed at Corinthians | OneFootball

Breno Bidon shared details about living alongside Memphis Depay at Corinthians and revealed what the Dutch forward is like in the squad’s day-to-day routine. In an interview with the program Resenha ESPN, the midfielder highlighted the influence of the No. 10 on and off the pitch and joked about his teammate’s serious appearance.

According to Bidon, Memphis has a very different attitude from what he may seem to show at first. Despite the image of a serious player, the forward is described by the young midfielder as someone easygoing and involved in the group’s jokes.

“He’s a guy who helps us a lot. We know how big a player he is, right? So I think he comes in to add to our group. He’s a player who can only contribute to us on and off the pitch.”

Then, the Corinthians player summed up Memphis’s behavior behind the scenes in a relaxed way.

“He likes joking around, he’s easygoing. He just looks like he has an angry face.”

Bidon followed Memphis’s situation from a distance

Memphis’s stay at Corinthians was also commented on by Bidon. The midfielder said he followed through the press the negotiations involving the Dutchman’s future, as his departure from the club had at one point been considered certain before a new agreement secured his stay in the squad.

Bidon said he preferred not to seek information directly behind the scenes during the period of uncertainty, but admitted he was happy when he learned that Memphis would remain at Timão.

“Ah, I tried not to keep asking about things in there, right? But then I saw it on the internet. Of course we’re happy. Like I said, he’s a guy who comes in to contribute to the group. We have a very united group. And I think he only adds to it.”

His staying took on even more meaning for Bidon after Memphis was directly involved in an important moment of the season. The Dutchman provided the assist for the goal scored by the midfielder himself in the draw against Rosario Central at Neo Química Arena, a result that confirmed Corinthians’ qualification for the Libertadores quarterfinals.

Bidon earns his place at Corinthians

Developed in the club’s youth academy, Breno Bidon has been establishing himself in the professional squad and taking on an important role in the team coached by Fernando Diniz.

The midfielder has made 143 appearances in a Corinthians shirt and scored six goals. Little by little, Bidon is also becoming one of the references of the new black-and-white generation and shares the locker room with experienced players such as Memphis.

Living alongside the Dutch forward, according to the midfielder himself, has been an opportunity for learning and also for integration within the squad.
