At the beginning of the new cycle, many of the team's veterans have chosen to retire and start a new journey in life. Following Yang Wenjin, Wei Yuxin and others, the Brazilian women's volleyball team, 39-year-old Xiela, announced in an interview with the media that she would return to her family after the end of the American women's volleyball league and bid farewell to her beloved volleyball court.
Sheila said: "I have won many honors in my career because I once put 100% of my energy into volleyball, and I chose to put my family and friends in second place. But after all these years of thinking, I decided to put my family and friends first, so I chose to retire and say goodbye to volleyball. ”
Born in 1983, Sierra is 39 years old and is the main supporter of the Brazilian women's volleyball team's Beijing Olympic cycle, London Olympic cycle and Rio Olympic cycle. The comprehensive offensive and defensive receiver should have played for the Brazilian women's volleyball team for the first time in 2002, and stood on the women's volleyball World Championship that year as a substitute player. Unfortunately, due to inexperience and other reasons, Sheila did not get many opportunities to play, and was also returned to the club, missing the World Cup and the Olympic Games consecutively.
2005 can be said to be a key year for Sierra to become a main force from the bench. That year's Swiss women's volleyball elite, Sheila became famous, especially in the competition with the Chinese women's volleyball team, with her excellent performance, Brazil reversed China and opened the situation of confrontation with the Chinese women's volleyball team. Since then, she has won four consecutive championships for the team, including the Grand Prix and the Grand Prix Cup. Although she encountered bottlenecks in 2006 and 2007, on the stage of the Beijing Olympic Games, Sheila re-bloomed, especially in the semi-finals and finals, Sheila not only showed her changeable technical and tactical techniques, but also showed her stable psychological quality to the outside world. Since then, Sierra has become the core of the Brazilian women's volleyball team. The London Olympic cycle has become an international first-class reception.
In fact, Sheila's slam power is not outstanding, compared with the current Egnu, Boskovic and others, completely inferior. But as a representative of the technical flow, Sheila used her own method changes and line changes to perfectly resolve the embarrassment caused by insufficient strength. When a pass is in place, Sheila will form a two-wing play with the front row of the main attack, relying on the containment and cover of the secondary attack, often facing a single-person net or a half-person net.
When a pass is not in place, Sheila will observe the opponent's blocking hand and defensive position in the air, using the technique to create the hitman out of bounds to score or handle the ball to the opponent's dead corner position, even if it can not cause the score, it will make the opponent feel very uncomfortable. Once you meet a player with a rough ball, it will keep her busy. During that time, the Chinese women's volleyball team often suffered in this regard. Sierra's varied approach and rich routes are worth learning from all Asian counterparts.
During the Tokyo Olympic cycle, Sierra returned to the Brazilian women's volleyball team and also represented the team in the World Cup. Unfortunately, at that time, she had entered the twilight of her career, and the starting height and the height of the net were all on a cliff-like decline, so Guimarães could only endure the pain of cutting love. Finally hope Shera can enjoy her last time in volleyball.
