Taken at the beginning of the season, Matheuzinho consolidated as one of the most used pieces by Dorival Júnior in Corinthians. With 33 games played in 2025 and more than 3,000 minutes on the field, the right back has distinguished himself for both defensive performance and support for the attack. The 1-0 victory on Palmeiras last Wednesday (30 July), not only scored an important result for the team in the Brazilian Cup, but also the first step for the player’s goal during the year.
Despite the decisive contribution to the classic, Matheuzinho has attracted attention for not having recorded any assistance so far. Commenting on the goal of Memphis Depay’s goal, he underlined the personal charge for more effective performance. “I am very happy to be able to help Corinthians in a more direct way, with assistance, which has always been my specialty. I pay a lot to be able to give more assistance.”
Among the good moment, speculation was born that involves a possible transfer to Turkish football. However, the player denied any official contact or proposal of Besiktas. “My attention today is 100% in the Corinthians. I learned to get to know this information on the internet, so not. Nothing is out of the internet, nothing came to me, my staff. My attention today is 100% in the Corinthians, I am very happy here and I hope to continue to contribute to the club.”
In fact, even in the face of foreign interest, the Board of Directors of the Alvinegro Club was not available to negotiate the athlete for less than 8 million euros. The value, considered high by the Turkish club, strengthens the importance of T -shirt 2 in the Corinthian cast, especially in a position in need of reliable options. Leo Maná lost space and even defender Felix Torres was used as an alternative on the right back.
In the meantime, Matheuzinho has also evaluated the collective performance, especially in the defensive part. “Professor Dorival, together with Lucas and Pedro, accuse us a lot about this defensive problem. We do a lot of tactical training only for the defense and today we can help on the pitch.”
About one of the most dangerous shots of the game, the back highlighted the importance of partner’s performance. “I was agonized when I saw the remaining ball. But, thank God, there was an angel there, the bouquet inside the lens, which went to get the ball beyond the line.”
Finally, the player also commented on the rhythm of the classic and arrests during the game. “It’s difficult, right? Because we want to play inside. And when the game for a long time, sometimes it ends up hindering, even more with the cold … but surely, it is very bad for us these stops.”
The Corinthians return to the field on Sunday (3 August), at 16h (time of Brasilia), against Fortaleza, for the 18th round of the Brazilian championship. Already the game again against Palmeiras, which will define the classified in the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup, will be played on Wednesday (7 August), at 21h30 (Brasilia Time), in Allianz Parque.
