Setter Luisinho highlights the need for adaptation following Norde setback against Montes Claros in the Superliga.
Setter Luisinho pointed to a lack of team chemistry as the main factor behind Norde's recent defeat in the men's volleyball competition. The team suffered a 3 sets to 1 loss against Montes Claros during the second round of the tournament.
Making his debut for the Carcará squad, the player emphasized that the team requires time to adjust to the demanding level of the Superliga. He noted that the roster entered the national tournament without the benefit of prior warm-up matches.
The club skipped both the state championship and official friendlies before the season started, according to information published by WEBVOLEI.
Adapting to the Superliga without a preseason
Addressing the challenges faced by the squad, Luisinho explained that the team must respect the ongoing development process. The lack of preparation matches significantly impacted the collective coordination on the court during the away match.
Despite the negative result, the Carcará setter described the encounter as a good contest and mentioned that the group put up a tight fight against their opponents in Montes Claros.
Limited preparation time for new setter
Luisinho also shared personal details about his recent arrival at the club, revealing that he had very little time to train alongside his new teammates before stepping onto the court for his debut.
The athlete stated that he only completed four training sessions with the main squad before the official match, making the integration process even more challenging for the coaching staff.

The high-stakes fixture is scheduled for 21:00 at the Paulo Sarasate Gymnasium located in Fortaleza, Ceará, where the home team hopes to apply lessons learned from their recent defeat.
