Having joined Corinthians' first team in 2024, Bidon is approaching 150 senior appearances. His standout performance in the second leg of the 2025 Copa do Brasil final has drawn attention from top European clubs. In a recent interview, Bidon shared his excitement about being included in Carlo Ancelotti's squad, stating, "The feeling is the best possible. I’m fulfilling a childhood dream. I never imagined I could be experiencing this moment so quickly."
He emphasized the importance of this opportunity, saying, "I believe I’m going to enjoy and make the most of everything I can here. It’s a huge experience, so I believe this moment will be very important for me. Hopefully, it’s the first of many."
When discussing role models, Bidon mentioned Guimaraes, highlighting his strong mentality and performance during the World Cup. "From the current generation, Bruno Guimaraes is someone I follow a lot," he noted. "He has a very good and winning mentality, and on the pitch, he’s been playing really well."
