Honorato is the alternate. Brothers Souza are going to Paris, as well as Lukas Bergmann and his sister Julia.

Opinion on the team?

On the positive: surprised to see both Bergmann and Adriano.

 

On the negative: some of the older names shouldn't be on the team anymore, at minimum Judson should be one of the middle blockers instead of Lucão. Also, Honorato out of the team (as has been the case since the VNL) could be a costly mistake.

 

Prediction: 3rd in the group and a defeat in QF.

It's so good to see young players on this Brazil team. I have no expectations for this Olympics, but I think we could have an interesting team for Los Angeles. At least we are good enough with opposites and OH, the problem will be in setters, middle blockers and liberos.

 

Despite all this, I suspect that these young players (Darlan, Adriano and Lukas) were called up because they are extremely popular and will probably generate engagement for the team.

 Leal looks to have suffered some kind of knee injury during Brazil’s first training at the Olympic venue…

Apparently nothing serious. On the other hand, Alan is injured and has been replaced by Honorato at least for the first match.

The venue looks a bit better on TV than what we have seen before on pictures.
