Blue and yellow are already traditional on the training shirt of the Brazilian men's volleyball team, but Leandro Visotto and Mario Junior, stars of Bernardinho's team, wore the colors of a different uniform after training on Thursday night (17.06), at Maracanãzinho. On Friday (18.06) and Saturday (19.06), the Brazilians face South Korea, in the last stage of the first phase of the World League, but before that, they were presented with Flamengo's third uniform.
O "greatest Flamengo fan in the world", Leandro Visotto, 2,12m tall, opposite number for the national team, did not hide his happiness with the gift. Revealed in the youth ranks of the Gávea club, where he played between 1995 and 2000, Visotto celebrated the fact that he had completed the "collection" of Flamengo shirts for this season.
"I got the red and black one from Olympikus, then they gave me the white one as a gift and now I got this one. They got the gift right. I was very happy," he said, proud of the number 6 and his name printed on the back.
Wearing the number 19 and his name, Mario Junior, on the personalized jersey, the sweeper, who is facing the difficult task of replacing Serginho on the Brazilian national team, also expressed gratitude for the gift and expressed pride in the new Sacred Mantle. The best player in his position in the 2010 World League, he is also a card-carrying Flamengo fan.
"It's always an honor to wear this jersey. I'm a Flamengo fan, I follow them a lot, and I really liked the gift. I thought it was a really beautiful jersey, from my favorite club, and it's even better because it has the Brazilian colors, right? It's great for cheering for the World Cup and also for us in the World League," he added.
