Brazilian NT in Beijing
Everything and everyone seems to be conspiring agains Brazil...
Firts Ricardo was kicked out, now he is injured and won't be doing anything for the next 3 months...
Now Rodrigao is also injured and will probably miss out on the OG..
Ricardo out was a no-brainer anyway.... but who do you guys think will be called to replace Rodrigao?
My bet would go for either Sidao or Éder. Maybe Lucas, but he is not that great when it comes to blocking... he sure is tall, but he is too slow...
I guess it is now safe to say that the Brazilian starting six will be:
Marcelo/André
Giba/Dante
Gustavo/Heller
Sergio
Another thing: Samuel has publicly said that he will not keep on playing as outside hitter because he is an opposite. So he said he would try to work this issue with Bernardo before Beijing... so we could see either him or Anderson being kicked out...
It makes me wonder... will Brazil be able to overcome all this issues and win the gold medal as they have been doing for the past 8 years?!
