On the field, things make according to circumstances. The back has to move following the movements of the half (midfielder). When I had to mark the winger because Médice was taking the insider, (Ramón) Muttis covered me and (Alfredo) Elli covered Muttis... If defensive players do not receive collaboration from his teammates, they will be overcome by players of the opposite team. That's because Muttis and I never left centre half alone. — Muttis talking about working as a team, in an interview for El Gráfico, 1934. and the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam, Bidoglio became nostalgic when speaking of those trips, as he stated in an interview with ''El Gráfico'''s journalist, "Borocotó", in 1934, three years after his retirement: The best that football left on me were memories of trips. They are very nice, but also saddens me, to the point of saying myself "it would have better not to go", because memories bring me nostalgia of those trips. I'm sure that I won't travel to Europe anymore, and when I think of it I don't know if I could die satisfied for having seen that continent or I should be sad due to the fact I won't be there again. My head fills with memories of those trips and I feel bad at last. But on the other hand, life helps you. When I return home, see my son's smile and I realise how small is the world... He was also manager of Boca Juniors in 1933, coaching a team in the 1933 Primera División and Copa de Competencia Jockey Club for a total of 20 matches.

Bidoglio died in 1970.
