Joao Jose
The 37-year-old Joao Jose, the best biddle blocker of the 2002 World Championships was calm on the farewell after the 2015 World League Intercontinental Round game with Finland:
”I feel as if something is going away. Something is going to stop existing. Every year if there was anything guaranteed is that when May arrives I would be here. To leave is to take off the shirt, to not sing the Portuguese anthem anymore. It is complicated. I think the time when I really felt I was leaving was when I started singing the anthem. We know that when we take off the national shirt we will stop doing it. It was a decision I thought through carefully. What am I going to miss the most? The people, apart from the pleasure of representing the national team. One of the strong points of our team has always been the team spirit, our will to help each other.”
