Breno Bidon admits Corinthians' league woes, eyes Brazil call-up | OneFootball

One of the young players now established in Corinthians’ first-team squad, Breno Bidon assessed the team’s current situation this season and spoke about his own ambitions for the future. Appearing on the Resenha ESPN program, the midfielder acknowledged that Timão still needs to deliver better results in league competitions, while also highlighting the squad’s confidence in pursuing its 2026 goals.

The scenario mentioned by the No. 7 contrasts with the team’s performances in knockout competitions. While still alive in the Libertadores, Corinthians has struggled to maintain consistency in the Brazilian Championship. In the national competition, Bidon is even among the players who have already scored twice for the club in this edition.

When analyzing this difference in performance, the youngster did not hide that the league campaign has been below expectations, but stressed that the group believes it can bounce back.

“We know we’ve been falling short in the league, but we know our objective and we know we have the ability to compete in these competitions. Of course we’ve been falling short in the league, but we know we need to recover.”

Bidon speaks about the possibility of reaching the Brazil national team

His development in a Corinthians shirt has also put Breno Bidon on the radar for bigger steps in his career. The midfielder already has experience with Brazil’s youth national teams and was part of the squad that won the 2025 South American U-20 Championship.

Asked about the possibility of reaching Brazil’s senior team, Bidon described the national team as a personal goal, but stressed that the path depends directly on the performances he delivers at Corinthians.

“Of course it’s every player’s dream to reach the Brazil national team. I’ve already had the opportunity to represent Brazil at youth level and I know how big it is to wear this shirt. So it’s a goal I have, but I know I need to keep working here at Corinthians, playing well and helping the team. If that opportunity comes one day, I’ll be ready.”

His comments come at a time of renewal on the national team’s radar. Bidon, 21, has already played for Brazil’s U-20 side and has been gaining more space in Corinthians’ first team since 2024.

An increasingly bigger role at Corinthians

Developed through the youth ranks at Parque São Jorge, Breno Bidon has gone from being just a prospect to taking on a regular role in Corinthians’ midfield. He reached the first team in 2024 and, since then, has expanded his role in the senior squad, while also being part of the title-winning campaigns in the 2025 Paulista Championship and Copa do Brasil, and the 2026 Supercopa do Brasil.

Now, beyond his individual goals, Bidon is focused on Corinthians’ recovery in the Brazilian Championship and on the continuation of the knockout competitions. For the midfielder, the performances in the cups show that the squad has the potential to challenge for titles, but needs to carry that competitiveness into the league.

Timão returns to the field this Sunday (30) at 4 p.m. against Santos at Neo Química Arena for the 25th round of the Brasileirão. Bidon, however, will not be available to Fernando Diniz for the Clássico Alvinegro due to suspension.
