The Mirassol was the big surprise of this edition of the Brazilian Championship. The club from the interior of São Paulo finished the competition in fourth place, securing a direct spot in next year's Copa Libertadores. One of the team's highlights, the full-back Reinaldo, celebrated the year with the team, which made its debut in Serie A in 2025.

"I feel honored to have worn the Mirassol jersey this year, to have an excellent competition and help our team reach the group stage of the Libertadores in its first Serie A. This is grand. Thank God I helped with assists, with goals. Now it's time to rest and work very hard so that next season is even better," said Reinaldo, in an interview with Gazeta Esportiva, at the Troféu Mesa Redonda.

Staying at Mirassol and Brazilian National Team

Next, Reinaldo talked about staying at Mirassol for 2026. The full-back had his contract automatically renewed, said he is focused on the club, but chose not to guarantee his stay for the next season. Additionally, the 36-year-old player also touched on the topic of the Brazilian National Team, an old dream of the athlete.

"There are always some speculations, but my focus is on Mirassol. My contract renewed automatically. It's a very serious work being developed there, and I'm sure that if it's to stay or if something comes up, they will sit down and talk to see what's best. But my mind is on Mirassol for next year to make everything right and continue helping Mirassol in the competitions," said Reinaldo.

"Oh, for sure. Every Brazilian player dreams of this (National Team), and I'm no different. I dream of playing with the National Team jersey, and, God willing, starting January with high-level competitions, if I maintain the same level, we will raise a doubt and be remembered, God willing," Reinaldo concluded.
