Corinthians player tops stats, stands out among Série A full-backs | OneFootball

Owner of the left flank for Corinthians, Matheus Bidu has been one of Timão’s most consistent players this season. The No. 21 shirt is one of the players most used by coach Dorival Júnior in 2026 and stands out not only defensively, but also on the ball.

According to Sofascore, a platform specialized in statistics, Matheus Bidu is the full-back in Brazil’s Série A with the most interceptions this season. With a heat map concentrated mainly on the left side, the defender has 21 interceptions.

Defensively, the full-back also posts other eye-catching numbers. In 16 matches this year, he has won 95 duels and recovered 106 balls.

Matheus Bidu is also an essential part of Corinthians’ build-up play. It is no coincidence that he has become the player in Brazil’s top flight with the most actions on the ball, with 1,158.

In attack, the player has also put up positive numbers and has already contributed one goal and two assists this season. He also has five big chances created and a 24% crossing accuracy rate, according to the platform.

Matheus Bidu is the undisputed starter at left-back for Corinthians, with Angileri as his immediate backup. The No. 21 overcame ups and downs to reach his current status, but established himself under Ramón Díaz and gained even more confidence with the arrival of Dorival Júnior.

Some Timão fans even called for Bidu to be selected for the Brazil national team. Carlo Ancelotti, however, seems to have the position well defined and has not tested the Corinthians full-back.

With Bidu available, Corinthians will return to action only after the FIFA international break. The São Paulo side visit Fluminense next Wednesday (04/01), at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time,
