Rizek indica “volante extraordinário” capaz de virar fenômeno no Brasil
André Rizek, apresentador do SporTV (Reprodução) André Rizek reprova a mudança de posicionamento de Breno Bidon no Corinthians. Após Dorival Júnior destacar que o jovem “tem todas as características de um meia”, o jornalista trouxe um recorte atrelado ao período do técnico no São Paulo.
