S: Claudinha, Giovana
MB: Diana, Julia K, Luzia, Gattaz (emotional support lol)
OP: Tainara, Sabrina
OH: Ana Cristina, Julia B, Helena, Maiara
L: Lais, Natinha
My guess is:
S: Macris, Roberta
MB: Diana, Julia K, Luzia, Gattaz
O: Kisy, Rosamaria
OH: Ana Cristina, Julia B, Basso, Daroit
L: Natinha, Nyeme
It's in Rio so there's gonna be pressure from the sponsors to get some big name players. Gabi is having preventative treatment on her knee (the same one she had last year) and Carol has the Italian league finals, so they are probably out. Thaisa might or might not go, I'm not sure.
-
Oh and btw we still don't have the actual training roster. Zé likes working with a smaller group, so it'll probably be 18-20 names at most.
CBV released the men's invitations yesterday for those who were already done with their club seasons, but nothing on the women yet (because they are flops).
-
Julia, Diana, Luzia for Week 1 maybe?
I would like that! Maybe throw in Gattaz for some experience.
-
Maybe rest Ade, Carol Gattaz, Thaisa at W1-W2 and make Carol the captain. Have Luzia, Helena, Sabrina, Julia K experience playing time.
I definitely don't think Carol should be there for the first week at least. She's the only player to have played every single match in this cycle and has a best of 5 series against Conegliano coming up. I personally want Julia/Diana as the main MB duo for week one so we can see who is best suited for the 3rd MB spot.
I also don't think Gattaz needs (or wants) to rest since she hasn't really played all season. Tbh I don't think her chances are very good to make the final roster considering she is currently Julia's backup at Minas, but I'm sure she'll fight until the end for it.
About Ade, she's had a few injuries this season and has talked about being excited for the season to end so she can be on vacation. I wouldn't be surprised if she's not with the team at all.

I don't get it what Brazil federation are doing
? How you guys put on a list players that did not accept a call? Why not ask them first, and than list 30 players who want to be there?fify
CBV sucks lol, we all hate them

Who do you think the 3rd mb will be? Diana or kudiess?
I honestly think 3rd MB is going to be the hardest position to predict. Most fans right now are favoring Julia because we are actually watching her play this season (and she's killing it), but even though Diana hasn't had much court time in THY, she played a big role in the NT last year when Carol wasn't in the best physical condition and Zé trusts her a lot.
Personally, I like Julia's game better, but Diana is still a tiny bit more reliable to me (which makes sense considering she's 4 years older than Julia). Julia gets the flashiest kills, but she wants to attack every ball super hard even when the set is not good and because of that she also gets blocked more. Diana's attacks aren't as pretty, but she's very consistent. Julia is the more natural slider of the two, but Diana's slide is also quite effective.
When it comes to blocking, Julia is faster at the net, but Diana's read is a little better. Both are aggressive servers, but Julia makes more service errors. Julia has shockingly good floor defense for a middle.
I say let them battle it out in the first two weeks of the VNL and give Carol and Thaisa a rest.
-
Brait (!) and Natalia are surprises, but that doesn't mean they will accept the invitation (Douglas from the men's team didn't).
I'm also surprised to see Lorena out of the wide roster completely, even though I did anticipate her losing the 5th spot to Luzia. If Zé has any sense left, Carol will not play in Rio, so hopefully Luzia gets to make her senior team debut.
I was hoping Aline would get a mention (over Maira maybe?), but I know it's not her time yet so it's fine. She'll get there next cycle.
-
VNL wide roster:
S: Claudinha, Dani Lins, Giovana, Macris, Roberta
O: Kisy, Lorrayna, Lorenne, Sabrina, Tainara
OH: Ana Cristina, Gabi, Helena, Julia Bergmann, Maiara Basso, Maira, Natalia, Pri Daroit, Rosamaria
MB: Adenizia, Carol, Carol Gattaz, Diana, Luzia, Julia Kudiess, Thaisa
L: Camila Brait, Laís, Natinha, Nyeme

I just saw that the other Busto Arsizio is in the promotion playoff finals. Would they take the A1 spot if they get it?
Also IMO promotion playoffs should be played in like late February/early March at the latest. They can even start the season a bit earlier since the vast majority of A2 players don't have NT duties. Staying up after getting promoted is hard enough as it is, but with how fast-paced the transfer market has become, it is almost impossible to build a competitive team if you don't know for sure which division you're playing before the end of club season.
-
Aww she could at least go another good 5 years 🤣
I always thought mb is the most physically demanding position. Respect to all Brazilian MBs playing at high level till such a late age (juciely, adenizia, gattaz, walewska🥺, Thaisa, Fabiana, I'm sure I even miss some )
Valeskinha is still going at 47! She plays for Curitiba (Superliga B) and is also part of their coaching staff.

Amanda Sylves (MB) towards Pinerolo...
Pinerolo is also negotiating Martina Bracchi (OH/O), Amelie Rotar (OH) e Sandra Piovesan (OH)...
Indre Sorokaite (OH) is listed as returning to Pinerolo after the end of the Indonesian championship...
I hope Bracchi goes to a team where she starts. I love watching her play, some of the nicest kills I've seen this season came from her.

On the league website is scheduled as best of 5 (17/20/24/27/30)
Oh, my bad. There were some Brazilian pages saying that it was best of 3 because NT season was starting earlier this year, no idea where they got that from.
Tbh I don't really see Scandicci beating Conegliano 3 times but miracles happen I guess?
Markova I'm counting on you girl -
IDK...
but knowing Scandicci, this wouldn't surprise me...
Given that they paid Adenizia 300K, giving 400K to Carol would seem absolutely legitimate to me...
I had no idea Ade made that much in Scandicci lol good for her
I'm always curious about players salaries. Like it's none of my business ofc but I feel like there's a lot more transparency about it in other sports.

triple... almost...
Wow. Is she the highest paid MB in Italy then?
