Brazilian Middle blocker Adenízia Ferreira said she would not play for Brazil national team in 2019 according to the Olimpíada Todo Dia portal.
The 32-year-old player said she had been talking to head coach Zé Roberto Guimarães and the coaching staff for several months and it was difficult to make that decision. The fact that my mother‘s receiving a surgery and the desire of getting married were major reasons for this decision. “Nobody knows about our (athletes)pains and difficulties, living without breaks and to spend time away from our family, so I made that decision. It was ten years of great love and dedication, but this year I made the decision to stay with my family and achieve a great dream that is to get married, “said Ade.
However, Adenízia hopes to return and be able to help the team in 2020, towards the Tokyo Olympics. But she made it clear that this decision does not just depend on her.
