Luciana � nova musa da sele��o. Eleita pelos f�s estrangeiros
(A atleta causou tumulto no Grand Prix. Na Alemanha, divide o posto com Paula Pequeno)

Vera Mossa, Ida, Ana Paula, Leila... A sele��o brasileira de v�lei sempre foi bem representada quando o quesito � beleza. Altas, morenas, pernas musculosas, bumbum redondo. As atletas s�o consideradas musas do esporte. Ida, por exemplo, chegou a tirar fotografias para uma revista masculina. Agora, com a equipe renovada, o posto de beldade � dividido por Luciana Adorno e Paula Pequeno.

"A musa � a Luciana", entrega a levantadora Marcelle, irm� de Ana Paula, que joga no v�lei de praia. "� a campe� das fotos. Nas Filipinas, todo mundo corria atr�s dela", emenda a oposto Scheilla, referindo-se � disputa do Grand Prix - as brasileiras s�o idolatradas nas Filipinas, China e Jap�o.

Leila foi convidada para fazer um filme filipino. Constrangida, Luciana, de 19 anos, 64 quilos, 1,85 metro, olhos e cabelos castanhos - com algumas mechas claras -, confirma a vers�o das companheiras.

"No gin�sio tinha faixa com o meu nome. Uma delas com os dizeres: 'Luciana para presidente'. Foi estranho porque ningu�m nos conhecia", lembra a jogadora que, em passeio em um shopping, teve de ser escoltada por seguran�as. "Valeu como experi�ncia, mas admito que foi um pouco assustador." Mara, a m�e de Luciana e Paula Adorno, de 20 anos, que estuda publicidade e joga v�lei na Universidade de Illinois, nos Estados Unidos, gravou o 'jogo da tal faixa'. "Focalizaram a faixa e os comentaristas disseram que ela � a nova musa. � muito legal ela guardar isso de recorda��o.

" Na Alemanha, onde o Brasil disputa o Campeonato Mundial, Luciana divide a prefer�ncia da torcida com italianas, gregas e alem�s - oito das 12 atletas da sele��o da Alemanha, tiraram fotos nuas para "promover" o evento. "Aqui est� sendo um pouco diferente. O ass�dio � bem menor. Os alem�es s�o mais frios que os filipinos." Quem agradece � o namorado, Felipe, jogador do Santo Andr�. "� bonita mesmo, podem falar. Fico feliz por essa fase que est� passando como atleta", comenta o atacante, de 22 anos, que reclama somente do pequeno tamanho do short das brasileiras. "Tenho de controlar o ci�me e confesso que �s vezes � dif�cil." Luciana, que era chamada de Olivia Palito na escola, n�o se acha bonita. "Tenho um conjunto legal, cabelo, rosto, corpo... Gosto mais das minhas pernas, mas, honestamente, n�o me acho bonita. Se fosse tudo isso seria modelo.

" A oposto chegou na sele��o adulta com o t�cnico Marco Aur�lio Motta - foi campe� mundial infanto-juvenil, em 1997, na Tail�ndia - e j� coleciona presentes de f�s estrangeiros. Isso porque n�o � t�o famosa no Brasil. Por influ�ncia do primo, Luis Alexandre, ex-jogador da sele��o brasileira na d�cada de 80, fez teste no Minas T�nis Clube. Jogou de 1991 at� 2000. Era banco no time adulto MRV/Minas. Hoje, defende o Pinheiros e est� entre as titulares. "J� recebi todo tipo de presente. Desde ursinho, doces at� j�ias e perfume. At� hoje minha caixa postal de e-mail est� lotada. N�o sei como conseguem o endere�o e como me acham nos hot�is."

Luciana is new muse of the selection. Elect for the foreign fans the athlete caused tumult in the Grand Prix.
(In Germany, he divides the rank with Paula Small)

Vera Mossa, Gone, Ana Paula, Leila... The Brazilian selection of v�lei always well was represented when the question is beauty. High, brown, muscular legs, bumbum round. The athletes are considered muses of the sport. Gone, for example, he arrived to take off photographs for a masculine magazine. Now, with the renewed team, the beauty rank is divided by Luciana Adorno and Small Paula.

" the muse is the Luciana ", delivers the levantadora Marcelle, sister of Ana Paula, who plays in v�lei of beach. " It is the champion of the photos. In the Phillipino, everybody ran behind of it ", amends the Scheilla opposite, mentioning itself it the dispute of the Grand Prix - the Brazilians are idolatradas in the Phillipino, China and Japan.

Leila was invited to make a film Phillipino. Constrangida, Luciana, of 19 years, 64 kilos, 1,85 meter, eyes and hair chestnuts - with some mechas clear -, confirms the version of the friends.

" In the gymnasium it had band with my name. One of them with saying them: ' Luciana for president '. He was strange because nobody in knew ", remembers them the player who, in stroll in one shopping, had of being escorted by seguran�as. " It was valid as experience, but I admit that it was a little frightful." Mara, the mother of Luciana and Paula Adornment, of 20 years, that advertising studies and plays v�lei in the University of Illinois, in the United States, recorded the ' game of the such band '. " They had focused the band and the commentators had said that it is the new muse. It is very legal to keep this of memory."

In Germany, where Brazil disputes the World-wide Championship, Luciana divides the preference of the twisted one with Italians, Greeks and Germans - eight of the 12 athletes of the selection of Germany, had taken off photos naked " to promote " the event. " Here it is being a little different. The siege is well lesser. The Germans are more cold than the Phillipino." Who is thankful is the boyfriend, Philip, player of the Saint Andres. " He is pretty same, can speak. I am happy for this phase that is passing as athlete ", comments the aggressor, of 22 years, that only complain of the small size of the shorts of the Brazilians. " I have to control the jealousy and I confess that to the times it is difficult." Luciana, that was called Olivia Palito in the school, is not found pretty. " I have a legal set, hair, face, body... Taste more of my legs, but, honest, I do not find myself pretty. If this was everything would be model.

" The opposite arrived in the adult selection with the technician Landmark Aur�lio Motta - it was champion world-wide infanto-youthful, in 1997, in Thailand - and already collects gifts of foreign fans. This because she is not so famous in Brazil. For influence of the cousin, Luis Alexander, former-player of the Brazilian selection in the decade of 80, made test in the Mines Tennis Club. It played of 1991 up to 2000. It was bank in the adult teams MRV/Minas. Today, it defends the Pines and it is between the bearers. " Already I received all type of gift. Since ursinho, candies until jewels and perfume. Until today my post office box of email it is crowded. I do not know as they obtain the address and as they find me in the hotels."
