New doesn’t mean young. Two different things here.
The team is new because it’s the first time of a few players in the NT, like Lara, Mayany, Julia, Tainara, Paula, Natinha. It’s Macris’ first time as an starter as well.
Macris could have been substitute to dani lins... but ze is solved with dani lins even past her prime. I think if brazil got the gold in rio, for sure, some players would still continue like dani lins as starter.. the case of thaisa is exception since it is due to injury. Lmfao.
