Crespo calls up new signing Isac for first time: meet the young talent | OneFootball

With no less than four absences in São Paulo's defense for the match this Thursday (2) against Fortaleza, in the Brazilian Championship, coach Hernán Crespo had no choice: he had to promote an option from the youth categories so that the Morumbi club wouldn't be left with only Sabino as an option for the sector in the match that will be played at Castelão.

And the young player chosen by the Argentine coach to travel to the Northeast with the squad was Isac. The 19-year-old arrived in Cotia in February this year, coming from Bragantino, after the purchase of 80% of his rights, and is listed for the first time for a match with the main team.

Isac was called up due to the absence of players in the position: Arboleda (suspended for the third yellow card), Rafael Toloi (injury to the back of the left thigh), and Ferraresi (injury to the left adductor), in addition to Alan Franco, who has a muscle overload in the front part of the right thigh and will remain in São Paulo for individualized activities.

With so many problems, the chance of the young player being a starter right in his first opportunity with the professional tricolors is high. And, as far as experience is concerned, it can be said that yes, he is ready.

Isac has a contract until December 2027 with São Paulo. But despite his young age, he has already had experience in a professional squad before. Considered a great gem of Bragantino, he was part of the main squad of the team from the interior of São Paulo last year.

It was in the Paulistão, in fact, that he had his only opportunity as a professional so far, coming on in the second half of the 1-0 defeat of the Bragança Paulista team to Guarani, on March 10 of that year.

Born in Brejo Santo (CE), Isac started in the youth categories of Sport. He earns praise from those who closely follow São Paulo's youth base, where he has already played 24 matches for the under-20 team this year.

“He plays on the right. Despite being tall, he is not slow and likes to anticipate in marking opponents. He also attempts long passes and always appears in the area during offensive set-pieces. In the last under-20 games, he was alternating in the starting team with other defenders,” analyzed Régis Romualdo, responsible for the page ASPIRANTES TRICOLORES (learn more by clicking here), specialized in covering Cotia.

In 2023, Isac caught the attention of the international market by also being called up to the Brazilian under-17 national team and being part of the group that won the South American Championship of the category, held in Ecuador. As a substitute, he played in only one match (against Uruguay).
