Who is Danielzinho?
Born in Andradina, in the interior of São Paulo, Danielzinho built practically his entire career in São Paulo football. Before arriving at Mirassol, he played for clubs such as Rio Preto, Guarani, Botafogo-SP, São Bento and, mainly, Novorizontino, where he had a long career and gained prominence in the Campeonato Paulista and Série B of the Brazilian Championship.
Arriving at Mirassol marked a new step in his career. Since then, Danielzinho quickly assumed a central role in Leão’s midfield. Acting as a central midfielder, he is responsible for setting the pace of the match, participating in the ball’s release, distributing passes and providing balance between defense and attack. Even without being a player with many goals, his importance appears in the construction of plays and the collective consistency of the team.
How does Danielzinho play?
On the field, Danielzinho is known for his tactical discipline, good quality in short and medium passing and his experience in decisive games. Outside of it, he exerts influence in the locker room, being seen as a technical and behavioral leader.
This combination made him a frequent starter and one of Mirassol’s most used athletes in recent seasons, including in the club’s historic campaigns in national competitions.
