Ex-Mirassol duo settle quickly at São Paulo, become Crespo’s first-choice | OneFootball

Facing a delicate financial moment, São Paulo found accessible and efficient alternatives in the market. Taking advantage of Mirassol's historic year, the club brought in two reinforcements without much fanfare: Danielzinho and Lucas Ramon.

And the duo is making a splash in the tricolor jersey. They needed little time to adapt and are already absolute starters in Hernán Crespo's team.

Danielzinho arrived at the beginning of the year. The midfielder has become a driving force in São Paulo's midfield. In 11 games, starting in nine, he scored one goal and provided two assists. Additionally, he has 14 key passes, four big chances created, 87.9% pass accuracy, seven shots (two on target), and 13 tackles, according to Sofascore data.

Lucas Ramon had a slightly different trajectory. With a contract with Mirassol until May, he signed a pre-contract in January, but São Paulo moved to bring him in earlier. The effort paid off: in February, the full-back was officially announced.

Since then, the 31-year-old athlete has played four games, starting three, and has already scored one goal. He also has eight tackles, five interceptions, three aerial duels won, 80% pass accuracy, and two key passes.

With the duo in sync, São Paulo managed to overcome off-field issues and advance to the semifinals of the Campeonato Paulista. In the Brasileirão, the Tricolor also shows solidity: they have accumulated seven points in the first three matches of the competition.
