O Joinville terá o líbero Felipinho de novo na temporada 2026/2027. Aos 27 anos, o líbero está de volta ao clube catarinense depois de três temporadas, reencontrando o time com o qual faturou a Superliga C, em 2022, e a Superliga B, em 2023. O objetivo é ajudar o time a conquistar mais um acesso à elite.
Ele fez parte do primeiro time adulto profissional do Joinville, na temporada 2022/2023, e agora assume o posto que era de Gian Moraes.
“É muito gratificante retornar a Joinville. De todos os clubes por onde passei, a torcida de Joinville foi a de que mais gostei. A cidade é muito linda e, para mim, é um retorno especial”, afirmou o atleta.
Dono de dois acessos na carreira, ele espera repetir o feito nesta volta.
“Já conquistei dois acessos na carreira e agora quero ajudar o Joinville a conquistar mais um. Vamos em busca do acesso à Liga A, que é o lugar onde o Joinville merece estar”, declarou.
O líbero também avaliou o grupo formado para a próxima temporada, apontando a mescla de juventude e experiência como um dos pontos fortes. Na visão dele, o avanço da Superliga B pede preparação constante para lutar pelo título e pelo acesso à divisão principal.
“A Superliga B vem crescendo a cada ano, e a gente vê isso com os investimentos feitos pelos times. O mais importante é ter um elenco muito bom, e eu acredito que o nosso elenco é muito forte. É uma mistura de jovens com atletas experientes”, analisou.
