Sinead jack did not renew her contract from Japanese club. Where do you think she will play? Or she'll retire?
Did she said anything about retirement? She's only 26.
-
Rumors that Ellen Braga (OH, BRA) might join the Kale Spor Academy in Turkey. Is that the same club Paula Borgo is possibly going?
-
Unbelievable... Does she want to spend another season doing nothing?
After she was unable to stay in Poland, she went to Tunisia
-
Brazilian libero Tássia Sthael in Dinamo Bucuresti. It seems to be a done deal.
-
Rumors about Bruna Honório (OPP, BRA) moving to Radom (POL). I think she can succeed in Polish league.
Update: Other sources saying that she’s actually going to Chemik Police.

It's fake.. there was no such thing as a list of players to train in Portugal. Brazilian teams and NT are not sending players to Europe
Thanks!
IMO even if the NT decides to start training, I don't think Ze will call so many players - it would be risky and costly to have 25 players in Portugal or somewhere else.

Display Morehere is the list:
Setter: macris, dani lins, fabiola and roberta
Opposite: tandara, lorenne, rosamaria and shiela
Middle blockers: thaisa, carol gattaz, carol, mara, bia, adenizia and mayany
Outside hitters: gabi, natalia, fe garay, jaqueline, amanda, ana cristina and tainara
Libero: camila brait, natinha and nyeme
Opposites: bruna honorio and paulo borgo
Outside hitter: drussyla can also enter
Where did you found this list? It is not on the federation website.
-
Lorenne will be their main Opp right?
It seems so, though is not official yet.
-
Yeah I saw that Ana Cristina is going there. Is she good? She is an OH or Opp? Seems like SESC-RJ starting line up is basically the same as last season minus Tandara.
She's a prospect. Hard to say whether she's good because she is just a very talented 16 years old who never played in high-level. She played as OH in NT youth categories, but her reception is shaky. But as far as I know, she can play as opposite too.
-
Is this Ariel in SESC-RJ any good? So SESC-RJ will be playing with Drussyla & Amanda next season? No other transfer?
Ariele is not a great player and honestly I would say she's below average... I don't think they're going to make any big transfers and probably the OH duo will be Amanda and Drussyla.
To complete the roster, it seems they've transferred the youth Ana Cristina - Ze Roberto confirmed that in an interview.
-
Megan Hodge will play for Minas as expected.
She confirmed herself in an interview to a Brazilian journalist.
-
She was announced by Schwerin just 1 week ago but not they will have to find another player.
That is already happened with AS Cannes and Kyle Russell in men this season.This is super weird, right?! If you're shortlisted in the Korean draft, why in the hell her manager would make her sign with another club? They should've waited for the results from KOVO.
-
Mari Paraíba in Praia Clube seems to be a done deal. No official confirmation yet.

let us remember that with the stable pass, macris should be starting! She cans set her middles easily! Now when the pass becomes unstable, macris struggles so much... watch brazil games against netherlands, turkey, poland. When roberta is in court, she delivers especially in serve, reception.
However, fabiola is way better than roberta. She and roberta have this awesome tandem with tandera in position 5 and in the pipe line.
For now i would lock in roberta as second setter.. and let macris/fabiola do the starting setter position. This is just my opinion whatsoever.
If lorenne is starting, then macris should play as setter. If tandara is starting, then it should be roberta. Prob with roberta is really her imprecise sets to her middles. 😒
Sorry but I'll need to say this... I don't think it makes sense to say which setter should be starter based on who's the opposite of the team. When you say that you're basically saying 2 things: 1st: opposites play alone; 2. setters are basically there to set the opposites. I don't think it's your intention, but that's how it sounds.

Is Roberta THAT bad on your book? 😂
I think Gabi-Natalia-Amanda is the OH trio that are surely gonna be in Tokyo. They might bring Lorenne as backup and push Tandara to OH if Natalia fails to perform.
I like Roberta and think she’s talented. But Osasco this season was a mess and she couldn’t do anything alone.
I think her game this season was really poor - bad decisions in many occasions, but what surprised me the most was the lack of precision in her sets.
-
Jaque and Camila Brait covered the whole court. Not so easy. Even Robinson struggles to do that in Fener.
That happened when Luizomar were still insisting with Bjelica as an outside hitter. But this strategy was soon abandoned and from mid-season on - if not earlier -, Ellen played in the starting six and she divided the court evenly with Jaque and Brait.
-
Jaque could be there in Tokyo 2021 as the Larson of the Brazil NT. If we are looking at defensive OH, Gabi is doing good, too. Gabi-Natalia duo is almost 100% locked as starter for the next cycle since no other OHs in Brazil can take their place now. But having Jaque there will provide experience and stability for the team. She can play the role of Sassa in 2008 if needed.
I think Jaque's reception skills are not good as it used to be. But anyway she showed a consistent season in defense - as usual - and was an okay attacker. I would have invited her for the OGs mainly due to lack of options.

Display MoreI got what you guys said and I agree with you'all, but I think there's somethings we have to considered about this topic. Brazil won two gold medals at Olympic games, and that made confort for Zé Roberto to not make a renovation that NT needed in time, inmho that endorses the desmotivation of young players.
This cycle they live with the possibility of renomate players to make a comeback way before the Olympics, while they play during all the cycle, classified Brazil for the Games and got all the pression for the media, and then suddenly the veterans are considered to make the cut.
The shadow of the Olympic champions should've not been a thing for them, they need to have the guts to play better and better, because that's what can take them to OG, but the possibility of Garay, Jaque, Sheilla, and so on make a comeback, may explain a little bit this lack of desire. I can bet, that in the next cycle we will see a completely change of behavior.
For me sounds very reasonable that this players feel "discredit". Example, Dani Lins (which the article says is playing good, idk where) said a few days ago, that she wants to play OG, Fabiola did the same, look, any player, regardless of age or whatever, may have the desire to play at the Olympics, the problem is Zé Roberto.
If this two deserve to be there because are playing good and better than Macris/Roberta, then ok, but this 4 years, Fabiola didn't play a single competition for NT, Dani Lins played two in 2018 and showed why Macris should've been there instead of her.
I understand your point, agree that it might contribute to Drussyla's lack of motivation to play volleyball/be in the NT, but I don't think the presence of older players is the cause of it all. Younger athletes doesn't seem to be mentally prepared to deal with the routine it takes to be in the NT - and this is valid for many sports. Honestly, I think this is a generational issue. Take Bia for example: she was playing her best in the past olympic cycle and she decided to quit the NT because she had a Disney trip scheduled. She could have been in Rio Olympics or at least put a good fight for a spot.
Quick note: Dani Lins hasn't played due to pregnancy/injuries. Fabíola hasn't played because she doesn't want to. Different situations. And I don't think Dani was any worse than Fabíola - who basically spent a whole season setting Tandara and forgeting about her middles. And I don't even have to coment about Roberta, right? She deserves to be in the NT just because she was there for four years? Honestly I don't think so.

Look guys, I'm not really a fan of Drussyla, as personal or athlete but I think people is making too much noise with this declaration of her.
Of course this generation is different than the previous one (especially the players who complaine all the time about this actual generation), and they are different for several reasons, and yes, I agree when some people talk about players who choosed to be on bench on big clubs instead of playing in smaller clubs but with court time (aka Naiane).
The thing is, in Drussyla's favor, she played in beach and floor for years in the beggining of her carreer, stay away from home and family since 14, and since 14 she joined youth NT, I think is completely normal, that in the middle of a global pandemic and quarentine (which she got infected by the virus), she feel the right to not miss her time on court playing volleyball.
Volleyball for her is a profession, not a hobby, I really love my job too and I'm really happy on what I do, but I don't take vacations for several years at this time, and I feel so bad that a covid-19 has to happen for me to take care of my life because I work incessantly since 16. But I will not talk about privilegis of the players who talk about this new generation right now (when they actually were Olympic champions at this age).
I understand your point. The only thing said here is that she doesn't seem to have any aspiration to play for the NT, plus she deals with volleyball exclusively as her work. Although people often say that it's their jobs etc, being an athlete is a very different kind of work indeed. When I mentioned the lack of desire is that in the past being an athlete meant that you'd try your best to be in the NT, to compete in an OGs which used to be everyone's dream. And the young girls now just don't have the same desire - and I am not judging them for that.
The reason why this thing got bigger is that recently Drussyla is basically being a fool on social media. The way she positioned about the ranking was really bad, she then was backlashed by the many 7-point players and responded to bad to it too.
