“Regarding my characteristics and the style of play, I am open-hearted and completely humble to meet the requests of the coach and the staff. If he wants to use me a bit further forward, I am available, and if it’s to use me a step back, I’m also ready and will do my best,” said the midfielder.
São Paulo will debut in the Campeonato Paulista this Sunday at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maião, precisely against Mirassol, Danielzinho’s former club. The midfielder, therefore, emphasized that he feels calm to face, in a possible debut, his former teammates.
“The adaptation has been very positive, the reception was very good from the players and club staff. I am sure we will have a good debut. I try to take things naturally, there is no anxiety or nervousness. There’s also not ‘something extra’ because it’s Mirassol; the next round is against São Bernardo and the expectation and motivation will be the same. So I try to take it naturally,” he commented.
A key player in Mirassol’s campaign, which secured a direct spot in the 2026 Libertadores, Danielzinho played in 37 of the 38 rounds of last year’s Brasileirão, always as a starter, and was the second outfield player with the most appearances in the competition, as well as the fourth athlete with the most minutes: 3,655 minutes throughout the championship.
