Jaqueline
Two time Olympic champion, Jaqueline Carvalho, is not on the preliminary roster announced by Brazil women’s head coach Ze Roberto, reports Volleywood. According to this source, it is still a question whether Jaqueline might have decided to retire from the national team, or the coach just thought that she should not be in the national team at the moment.
“Ze Roberto will only invite her if she can prove to him she is in a better shape. Jaque had a so-so season in the Brazilian League. Her passing and defense are still there but she is no longer an efficient outside hitter. Ze is investing on several young athletes who have the potential to lead Brazil at the 2020 Olympics,” a source said to Volleywood.
