Longe do CT do Corinthians and also at the Neo Química Arena, in Itaquera, there is a group that fervently supports Breno Bidonmidfielder for Dorival Júnior’s team and one of the best players in the squad. Corinthians just won the Copa do Brasil. He had already beaten Paulistão. The boy grew up at the club’s base. He made the play, and what a play, for the team’s second goal against Vasco, by Memphis Depay, but with the participation of Matheuzinho and Yuri Alberto. It was a spectacular move. Breno Bidon won the Copinha with Corinthians before joining the first team. He is 20 years old and his path must be Europe. But no rush.
Before turning professional, the boy accompanied his father, Glaucio Bidonin floodplain games with the Garrafão gangon the dirt field of the former guild of the Santa Marina glass company, in the west zone of São Paulo. The games were on Sunday mornings. The lineup of the two field football teams depended on the order of arrival of the “athletes”. Bredo Bidon arrived many times with his father, always one of the first on coordinator Gallo’s list.
Breakfast was at a nearby bakery. Coffee with milk and bread with butter. Bruno He was a little boy with a big dream: to be a professional player. His father was the best on the team. Or one of the best. When he wanted to, he lost his balance.
Breno was a little boy
The Garrafão where Breno Bidon “grew up” is still in operation, now in Campo do Primavera, close to Avenida Inajar de Souza. He still plays on Sundays. Breno doesn’t play anymore. Since turning professional or even before that, when his career began to take off, he stopped playing in the floodplains. There were risks of getting injured and professional football does not allow these escapes.
His father is still there, like all the other friends in the class. All older, but still willing to play. The handle is the same. Garrafão plays with two uniforms. One in red and one in blue. All players have both versions. They already leave the locker room knowing the color of the shirt. Breno was a frail little boy who played in midfield.
The list is long of the “players” of the Carboy who saw the little boy grow up and transform into this player. Everyone is proud of the boy. It’s as if Breno was a little piece of each one of that team now wearing the Corinthians shirt, in important games, decisions at Maracanã and eternal achievements. Breno became what everyone wanted to be. In an indirect way, he made that group’s dream come true. A group that I am very proud to be part of.
A look at clubs in Europe
As a reporter, I did one of the first reports with Breno Bidon, at his home, when he was emerging in football. I already knew what he was capable of. It was a matter of time to see him in action and be applauded for his play who scored in Corinthians’ second goal against Vasco in winning the Brazilian Cup inside Maracanã, football’s greatest temple, where players like Ronaldo, Romário, Zico, Júnior, Rivellino and even Messi have shone.
Breno has a beautiful familypolite, attentive and which has only helped in your career maturity. Yuri Alberto called Breno’s mother his aunt at the end of the match against Vasco, in a beautiful communion between the boys. Glaucio is very proud of his son. And the Garrafão gang too.
