The 33-year-old captain of the Brazilian women's volleyball team announced his withdrawal from the national team, and the 18-year-old potential youngster is expected to become the first choice for succession
On March 24, Brazilian women's volleyball team leader Natalia confirmed that her decision to withdraw from the Brazilian women's volleyball national team in the Paris Olympic cycle has communicated with head coach Guimarães in advance and obtained approval. Natalia, 33, who won the 2012 London Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, currently plays for Scandicchi in Italy and will focus on the club's league in the future. Perhaps the era of the Brazilian women's volleyball team relying on veterans to play the world will become obsolete, and the 18-year-old young christina is expected to succeed Natalia as the main attack of the Brazilian team.
Natalia is a famous small steel cannon in the international volleyball world, although her height is only about 182cm, but her bounce and lag ability is very strong, which makes up for the shortcomings of the height gap, Natalia's slam burst is particularly strong, with the second and fourth positions and the various techniques of the back row attack, the only weakness is that her pass is not as stable as the diagonal Gabi of the active Brazilian team.
Natalia became a member of the main lineup of the Brazilian women's volleyball team as early as the age of 21, the first time she represented the Brazilian women's volleyball team in the international competition was the 2010 World Championships, Natalia made up for the slump of the veteran Paola in time, and finally the Brazilian women's volleyball team also lost to the Russian women's volleyball team for two consecutive years. Natalia also won the women's volleyball championship at the 2012 London Olympic Games as a substitute, and the core that really made her an absolute main force was in the Rio Olympic cycle, but the Brazilian women's volleyball team only won the third place in the 2014 World Championships, and when the Rio Olympics played against the Chinese women's volleyball team, Natalia was once replaced by Jacqueline because of a pass. Natalia became the captain of the Tokyo Olympic cycle and led the Brazilian women's volleyball team to the third place in the Grand Champions Cup, the 7th place in the World Championships, the 4th place in the World Cup and the second place in the Tokyo Olympic Games.
After the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Natalia may consider getting older, already 33 years old plus injury attacks, Natalia will concentrate on spending time in the league in the future, and now she plays for Scandic Club, perhaps because of the team's difficulty in rushing to the championship, next season Natalia will transfer to Dynamo Moscow in the Russian Premier League and continue to compete in the league.
The aging of the Brazilian women's volleyball team in the Tokyo Olympic cycle is more serious, Figare, Natalia, etc. are all members of the London Olympic cycle, and the deputy attack Caroline is a member of the Athens cycle, but the stable performance of the veterans during the competition still helps the Brazilian women's volleyball team to reach the final. Now the Brazilian women's volleyball team continues to rely on the veteran to participate in the Paris Olympic Games plan may be broken, Natalia, Sierra, Taiza and other players have been playing in the league, but it is difficult to play for the Brazilian women's volleyball team, head coach Guimarães need to consider the time to dig up new people.
18-year-old Cristina is the brazilian women's volleyball team's main offensive line of the most potential new star, she was recruited by the head coach into the Brazilian team to participate in the Tokyo Olympic Games, although only as a substitute, but also fortunately won the silver medal, feel the Olympic atmosphere, the height of 192cm young players are currently playing in Fenerbahce, and Federovt Caiva shines, is a rare good seedling, Paris cycle I am afraid that the main offensive line of the Brazilian team will be Gabi as the core, Christina played diagonal mainly.
