Danielzinho matches his 2025 stats at the start of the season for São Paulo | OneFootball

Hired by São Paulo in December 2025, Danielzinho has already matched, early in the season, the number of direct goal contributions he had throughout last year. For the Tricolor, the midfielder has three contributions, with two assists and one goal scored.

In 2025, when he was playing for Mirassol, Danielzinho also ended the season with three direct goal contributions. On that occasion, all were assists for teammates to find the net. These numbers came from 50 games, unlike this year, which happened in just 12 appearances.

His only goal in 2026 so far was in the debut of the Brazilian Championship, in the 2-1 victory over Flamengo at Morumbi. Both assists were in the Paulista, one in the draw with Corinthians and another in the win against Primavera.

Since arriving at São Paulo, Danielzinho quickly gained the trust of coach Hernán Crespo and started among the 11 starters in nine of the 12 games he participated in. Alongside Bobadilla and Marcos Antônio, the reinforcement completed the Tricolor midfield and pleased the Argentine coach.

Recently, he was rested due to physical fatigue against Coritiba, in the match preceding the State Championship semifinal, in which he was a substitute. The choice of Luan in the decisive classic, in fact, drew much criticism towards Crespo, who brought Danielzinho on only at the start of the second half.
