Pela segunda rodada da Superliga A, o Montes Claros Vôlei joga em casa nesta segunda-feira, dia 2, às 16h, contra o time cearense do Norde Vôlei, no Ginásio Tancredo Neves. O duelo repete a decisão da Superliga B do ano passado, que valeu o acesso dos dois clubes à elite.
O Pequi Atômico estreou contra o Cruzeiro com o Caldeirão cheio — quase cinco mil pessoas — e agora persegue o primeiro resultado positivo, esperando repetir a força das arquibancadas.
"Tenho certeza de que a torcida vai nos ajudar. No primeiro jogo em casa, o incentivo dos quase cinco mil torcedores que compareceram foi uma energia fantástica. Se a gente puder contar novamente com a energia de todos vocês, será fantástico", afirmou o ponteiro Matias Provensi.
O técnico Walner Santos também falou. "A equipe manteve o padrão competitivo que foi apresentado lá no Campeonato Mineiro", disse ele. "Foi um jogo muito difícil, mas o comportamento do nosso time foi exemplar, tanto técnica e taticamente quanto, principalmente, emocionalmente."
Para o treinador, o desafio é manter o nível e corrigir detalhes: "O vôlei não tem empate: é ganhar ou ganhar. Vamos buscar a vitória em casa, com o nosso torcedor."
Os ingressos estão à venda antecipada pela internet e também na bilheteria do ginásio, uma hora antes. Alunos de escolas públicas entram de graça uniformizados; PCDs com carteirinha, com direito a acompanhante; crianças com menos de 12 anos e idosos com mais de 60 também entram sem pagar, apresentando documento.
