Next Monday coach José Roberto Guimarães will announce the NT's roster. Some players will surely be called like Jaqueline, Paula, Sassá, Mari, Sheilla, Fofão, Walewska, Fabiana and Fabi. There are only a few doubts in my opinion:
1) who will be the back-up setter: Fernanda Venturini, Carol Albuquerque, Josefa Fabíola or Dani Lins? I think Carol A will be the one, but there's a strong lobby from the Brazilian Olympic Comittee and the Brazil's Volleyball Federation for Fernanda Venturini, so it's hard to predict!
2) will there be an specific back-up opposite? The coach may call Joycinha for this position, or maybe Mari and Natália can play both as opposite and outside hitter. I'd like to see these two players in the roster, but this is not likely to happen, cause the coach likes Sassá
3) Who will be the 3rd middle-blocker? Will he call a 4th middle-blocker? Carol Gattaz, Thaísa and Adenísia are the candidates. If I were to choose, I'd choose Adenísia, but then again, I don't think this is the coach's preference, he is bound to call Thaísa or Thaísa and Carol.
I hope both Natalia and Adenisia have chances in the Grand Prix, at least.
