The midfielder Danielzinho was once again a starter for São Paulo in the classic match this Sunday (18) against Corinthians, which ended in a 1-1 draw, and had another good performance for his new club.
The Tricolor was leading the rival in Itaquera during the 3rd round of the Paulistão until the final minutes, but defensively faltered at the end and conceded the Corinthians' equalizer.
Danielzinho did not hide his disappointment with the result and was candid in analyzing the Tricolor's away match.
“Given the circumstances of the game, I feel like we could have held on to this victory. But unfortunately, in the second half, we defended more and couldn't play during the second half,” said the midfielder to TNT Sports as he left the field.
“Unfortunately, we weren't very aggressive here on the last ball, and they scored. But we have to keep our heads up, a point here isn't bad either, and we keep going strong,” Danielzinho added.
The result keeps the São Paulo team out of the qualifying zone for the State Championship playoffs. They are in ninth place with four points. On Wednesday (21), at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), there's another classic: against Portuguesa, at Morumbi.
