A estreia do Viapol São José na Superliga masculina 2026/2027 está marcada para esta terça-feira (27), às 21h, diante do Praia Clube, em Uberlândia (MG). O técnico Flávio Tavares garante que o time chega pronto, após duas semanas de carga física e dois amistosos.
"Nós aproveitamos essas duas semanas de trabalho para voltar nosso foco para a parte física do time, com muita carga na academia. Isso era importante por conta da sequência que teremos daqui até o final da temporada", afirmou.
Os jogos-treino foram contra o Sesi Bauru, na quadra da Univap, em São José dos Campos, em quatro sets de 25 pontos, e o clube não divulgou os resultados. A ideia era dar ritmo a quem atuou menos no Campeonato Paulista.
"Felizmente conseguimos ter dois jogos-treinos contra o Sesi, que foram muito bons para conseguirmos rodar o elenco. O time titular tem jogado muito e os demais atletas têm jogado pouco, então foi importante darmos esse espaço para que todos estejam no mesmo ritmo. Temos um grupo muito homogêneo, vamos precisar de todos os atletas para conseguirmos equilibrar bem as ações visando os jogos que teremos pela frente", explicou.
