Offf please dont be that notorious guy making childish comparisons, one Crovolley for this forum is more than enough
I'm just stating facts, even Gabi herself has said it. You just dont like the facts.

Display MoreGabi, Carol and Rosa have all said things that indicated they could take the VNL off (or at least part of it). Not sure if Macris and Roberta will do the same, but my hope is that we can come out of this year with a viable 3rd setter.
Honestly, I think that's great. They need the rest and the younger girls need to be put under pressure so they can grow. If that means we'll perform worse than usual in the VNL, so be it.
Last cycle, Zé played the starters in every single match of every single tournament. As a result, the older players were burned out and the younger players were not ready because they were not tested enough during the cycle. Zé even said in an interview that he could not sub Gabi out during the Olympic semis because if she wasn't on court, "no one would receive". That is just absurd. Gabi is incredible and we are so lucky to have her, but no player can be un-subbable.
And who knows? Maybe the youngsters will perform so well that they will become greedy to also start in the WCH, which would in turn motivate the experienced players to fight for their spots. Teams can really benefit from some healthy competition.
I doubt it, especially given that this is a WCH year, which is the one competition Brazil has never won, not even during its golden era.
And I think people are taking ZRG words too literally, he might've meant that Gabi is the heart of the team and taking her off court could also harm the team spirit. Besides, as of now, there isn't really a player who could sub her and do everything she does with Brazil, even when performing badly in one or two elements.

lmaooo
He should google Piero Giuseppe next
He wouldn't have to Google it after. Would've appeared as one of her pseudonyms. Plus the Gabi affair.
-
I dont think they would know her either.
-
just a note it doesn't explicitly say LOVB
PVF could pay them more if they wanted to
Could but I doubt Carol and Anne would choose PVF over LOVB, when the latter is more renowned and where most USA NT players play (except for those abroad)

Miss me much, Terzic?
-
Don’t make me put Bianka Busa next to Gabi and make same comparison
You'd still have 0 gold olympic medals combined lol 🤪🤪
-
Display MoreYou can't just dismiss Gabi because she has 0 gold medals. This erasure is unacceptable.
You know who else has ZERO Olympic gold medals
This man
Tennis goat Margaret Court the queen herself
Lol since when the Olympics became the single most important competition for football and tennis? (Only Novak cared that much, just because in 2024 he had 0 slams lol).
Besides you're putting as an example a man who only played one OG at age 19 and a women who seems to never played them.
-
3 gold medals but still can't win this game against Imoco
Doesn't matter. Gabi will give up gladly winning all these matches just for a chance of touching that gold medal 🤪
-
Exchange Egonu & Rosamaria and see what Sylla & Gabi will win in NT lol
There's no if, reality is that Sylla has 3 gold medals at international competitions whereas Gabi has none 😉 and being one of the protagonist not just sitting on the bench or dragging her team down 😀
-
Top 5 outside in the world
and also Miriam.
1 Olympic gold, 2 VNL gold medals and Gabi Guimaraes 😉
-
the Orro - Smrek sub has never worked so far, either she makes mistake, getting in the way or the team forgets there's not setter on the field.
-
What about those in international leagues?
Dentil Praia lost so I guess Macris, Natinha will be called.
Its the best of 3 series so Praia still has a chance.
-
Seems like McKenzie Adams will be summoned.
That is interesting. I wonder if Bajema will be.
Who else is being considered as far as you know?
-
imo from Tainara, Jheovana and Kisy we can have a good contribution from Opp on attack as them are more mature right now. Jheovana is the less Experienced player but she can become a solid Opp like Brakocevic . Tainara and Kisy are more mature and ready.
Idk I see people get excited when the players have good club seasons but so far Tainara and Kisy havent shown much at a NT level. Even when Kisy had a great 2023-24 season and Tainara's season in China was average at best imo.
-
kinda reminds me of Italy when they had Egonu and the younger players in 2016 and now they won at Paris.
Lol. They had Egonu who is perhaps a one in two decades (or even more) type of player. Brazil hasn't been able to produce a player like that since their golden era. And even then it took Italia almost a decade to win a gold medal at a major tournament despite being 'on paper' the best team for a few years now.
-
Sylla???
in this economy???
yeap, the best OH at the OG and VNL 2024.
-
Yang Shu-ming, Wang Ao-qian and Zhang Zi-xuan will still participate in the qualifier of U19 event of Chinese National Games.
Date: April 15 - April 29
How did Yang Shu-ming perform? I believe she played for the Shanghai U20 team? She left quite a good impression at the WCH U17.
-
I dont think thats a fair assessment and is discrediting the work the athletes (olympian or not) put in.
(she's 31 fwiw lol)
but also, who are these middles overseas? dana, obviously. but the only other high level middle overseas is Brionne? the rest of them are in LOVB.
Wasn't there a salary cap, meaning some of these olympics specially the gold medalists were earning way less than overseas? And that the main reason they went to LOVB was trying to establish a strong league at their home country?
I wonder where those comments come from, or rather if they are referring to the level of LOVB overall rather than the players not taking seriously or not caring.

After the golden era for Brazil in womens volleyball has ended in 2016 this is actually the first cycle that i think that Bra might be a real contender in next competitions.
good players / prospects in every position. Imo Opp dilema Will be solved . Bra needs to develop Setters.by whom? (players)
