The red-and-black volleyball team, Sesc RJ Flamengo, has already finalized its roster for next season. On social media, the club announced the farewells of five athletes: Helena, Adria, Vittoria Kuehne, Clara, and Camila Mesquinta. The Most Beloved thanked the players for their services.
“Sesc RJ Flamengo thanks the athletes for their dedication and contribution throughout the season. We wish them success in their next professional challenges,” Flamengo wrote on social media. The biggest surprise on the list was Helena, regarded as one of the gems of Brazilian volleyball.
“Bring Helena back, are you crazy?” one fan asked. “This is insane. Helena was one of the best players in the semifinal. What happened?” another asked. “Unfortunately, losing Helena without any replacement on her level will make it hard for the club to achieve anything this new season. It would be better to reconsider this before finalizing the roster, because the team got weaker,” another analyzed.
While on one hand Flamengo decided not to keep Helena and four other players, the club renewed the contract of its main player from last season: Simone Lee. Besides the American, Mengão kept ten other athletes from the last Superliga. Finally, it signed three reinforcements: Ariele, Jaque Schmitz, and Bia Paranhos.
Setters: Giovana and Vívian Opposites: Tainara and Jaque Schmitz Outside hitters: Simone Lee, Karina, Mikaela, and Ariele Middle blockers: Juju, Lorena, Maša Kirov, and Bia Paranhos Liberos: Laís and Victoria.
The most successful club in the history of the Women’s Superliga, with 12 titles, Rubro-Negro will report back on June 15 at the Army Physical Education School (EsEFEx) to begin preparations. Training will start with a reduced squad, since most of the players will be on duty with the Brazilian national teams, as will Bernardinho, who coaches the men’s national team.
