The setter Fofão still did not decide when it goes to stop to play for the Brazilian election. But, with 36 years, it knows that the trajectory in the team is arriving at the end.

"I am not planning to continue per many years. It is a natural thing, the renewal has that to exist, all the teams are making this renewal because no player can be perpetual ", affirm the setter.

Questioned if the exit he would be in the Olympic de Bequin, in 2008, Fofão tergiversates. "I do not know. I know that game at least until the end of the World-wide one ", answers, bem-humorada.

More of the one than the tactical part, what it weighs in the decision is the physical question. In the World-wide one that he is being carried through in Japan, Fofão soon felt a bruise in panturrilha right in the departure of estréia of Brazil, against Rich Port.

The player was saved by the commission technique in the other games of the first phase, entering in squares only at difficult moments of Brazil, as in the victory of 3 the 2 on Holland.

"I do not have the lesser doubt that the Fofão is a great differential. All time that it entered in squares, or when the teams was in the conditions most delicate, it it entered well and it obtained to stabilize ", praises the technician Jose Robert Guimarães.

"It is a special setter, it has made the difference always, in the balance, the precision and the distribution of the game", complete the trainer.
