Signed for the 2026 season, the midfielder Danielzinho, formerly of Mirassol, is having a good start to the year with the tricolor jersey. The player has taken the field in all three of São Paulo's matches this season and has already improved the team's playmaking, including providing the assist for Tapia's goal in the 1-1 draw at the Majestic last Sunday.
Wearing jersey number 94, he started the season as a substitute in the 3-0 defeat against his former club in the first round of the Paulistão. Despite playing the entire second half, Danielzinho had a timid debut and only managed to help São Paulo's midfield from the match against São Bernardo onwards.
According to Sofascore data, Danielzinho recorded the highest rating in São Paulo's 1-0 victory over the ABC team. In the following match against Corinthians, besides providing the assist for Tapia's goal, he was a key player in the Tricolor's creative sector, with 90% pass accuracy, two key passes, and two accurate crosses.
Since joining São Paulo, Danielzinho has stood out in both midfield sectors. In defense, he has already recorded 18 duels won and recovered 12 balls. In attack, besides the assist in the derby, the player has already made five key passes and has an 84% pass accuracy.
Danielzinho was announced by São Paulo at the end of 2025 and joined the current season at no cost to the Tricolor. Although he started his career in 2014, the athlete only began to gain prominence when he joined Mirassol in 2023.
In the season following his arrival, Danielzinho was one of Mirassol's main players in their unprecedented promotion to the top tier of the Brazilian Championship, scoring three goals and providing seven assists. In 2025, during the team's G4 campaign, the midfielder was captain and a starter in all 50 of the team's matches that season.
