Corinthians ready for Fortaleza clash, Breno Bidon previews match | OneFootball

Corinthians return to the field this Wednesday (3rd) to play their last away match in the Brazilian Championship. The alvinegro team faces Fortaleza at 7:00 PM (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, in a match valid for the 37th round of the national competition.

The final preparations for the game took place on the morning of this Tuesday (2nd), at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. The athletes started the day with strength training in the gym, followed by warm-ups on the pitch. Next, coach Dorival Júnior led a specific tactical activity for the match against Fortaleza. After this stage, the players who played more than 45 minutes against Botafogo underwent regenerative training inside the training center, while the rest of the squad stayed on the field for a second tactical exercise.

For the match, Dorival will have important absences. Right-back Matheuzinho will not be able to play as he is serving a suspension after receiving his third yellow card. Midfielder Charles is also out of the trip to Ceará, as he was punished by the STJD with a two-match suspension for being sent off in the match against Red Bull Bragantino on November 5th. He has already served one match and will complete his penalty this round. On the other hand, midfielder José Martínez is available again after serving an automatic suspension.

Corinthians go into the match occupying ninth place in the table, with 46 points, and are seeking their 13th win in the competition. Ready for another challenge, midfielder Breno Bidon highlighted the importance of focus and total commitment on the field.

“The expectation is always very good. We have prepared very well for tomorrow's game. God willing, we will bring the three points home. Their team (Fortaleza) is very good, but it will be a great match. Corinthians, as always, will have to go in very well, focused and with grit. I am sure that if we enter the field with all of this, we have a great chance of coming out with the win,” said the player.

In the first round, Corinthians and Fortaleza drew 1-1 at Neo Química Arena, in a match marked by André Carrillo’s goal in the final minutes for Timão. Now, the alvinegro team is looking for a better performance to secure three points and finish their away campaign in the Brazilian Championship on a positive note.
