MARCO AUR�LIO: OUR FUTURE Is VERY GOOD

Three months before the World-wide Championship, the technician Landmark Aur�lio Mota if problema�o " in the hand saw with one ". The main players had asked for dismissal and it simply she did not have teams to place in squares. The trainer was to search the players in three groups: of selection B, that it convokes one year before, of the youthful, champion selection world-wide in 2001, and of the adult, some calls for the first time for the selection. Only the experienced one was Karin Rodrigues. The 12 players never had entered together in square a time at least. After two competitions - the Grand Prix and the World-wide Championship -, it breathes alliviated, with the sensation of the fulfilled duty. " We were to the the highest point of the orange ", says. E Brazil arrived of the World-wide one showing a new generation that has everything to arrive at the p�dio in the next competitions.

How you analyze this new Brazilian generation?

Before more nothing, it is an intelligent group, he is more easy to work with them because they adaptam themselves more quickly to the tactical part. Time with many details is not lost, with banal quarrels. I do not speak in intellectual level, but of same intelligence. In this way, we had more time for the individual training, without having that to be one week in preparing to face definitive adversary.

Against Japan, for example, we made some markings of locking with much easiness.

Which players had more evolved in this period of selection? It was merit of the Commission Technique?

The Paula was extraordinary. Its efficiency in the attack, playing against the best teams of the world, superior was 50% to whom had in Superliga. The Sheila has a very strong arm, an excellent control of the attack blows. The Luciana improved very, still is slow behind and the Marcelle, that never had been titular in a club, finished as best world-wide it. The first championship of it as titular was the Grand Prix.

I find that the group as a whole grew very. It still needs smoothings, but today already he is a teams.

You it says that the first competition of the Marcelle as titular of a teams it was the Grand Prix. E it finished being elect the best levantadora it world in its second competition.

How this happened?
I
n first place, we had the concern to create a style of simple game, easy execution, more linear, that it could execute. Later in them we worry about the rhythm of the plays, giving more speed. In we worry them in not idealizing more things of that it could make. To the measure that if felt more insurance, it was being more to the will. It said for it " makes its, does not try to make more of the one than it can ".

We train much reception, to give it confidence in the way balls, and to the few it was if making right with the way aggressors. In the Grand Prix it was well, arrived motivated at the selection. E had the responsibility to grow. Our victory in the first stage of the Grand Prix gave personality to the teams, gave an identity. All had grown.

E the mentality of the players?

This is most important. Today in the group if it speaks and if it argues voleibol. People notice that all are interested in making the thing to grow.

After the output of the players, its capacity was ece of fish in quarrel. How you it made so that the ones that had been continued believing you?

This was not problem. The difficulty was not my figure, but auto-they estimates of each one of them. If they were badly in the Grand Prix, would be bad for everybody. In the eve of the trip, we lose the Jacqueline and the K�tia, both hurt. We made a work to magnify auto-estimates, without fixing a very great goal. We show that, exactly losing, if we played 100%, would be good. We made with that they centered the work nelas same, without thinking about adversaries, without fearing to face Russia, Japan and others. With this, we take off a little stress from above of them.

How you she obtained to assemble a teams with only three months of treinos?

Nobody never had played with nobody, this three months before the World-wide one. We made games against the Dominican Republic. It was the first time that we congregate that teams. But they had matched themselves and with the collective spirit they had left the difficult situation. We play well in the Grand Prix, we earn of Russia, Japan, Germany. This raised the moral of the teams, auto-estimates. In the red tape, we win Italy and to the United States. Perhaps the seventh place does not express our evolution. The seventh place in the World-wide one was more close to first the the one that the fifth place in the Grand Prix it last year.

Some people are saying that, if the players who had left were in the World-wide one, the selection could have obtained a very better sorting. You find this?

This is a futurologia study, not if it can say what it would happen. But, if they were of the skill who were, with certainty would be very worse. They did not want to give space for new, creating a difficult climate. The group was desunido. I cannot charge of none of that they had been more of the one than they had given in the World-wide one. We train only three months. The group was with a good energy very, very legal. When it finished the game with Bulgaria, all had been hugged and cried. They had been three months of very work, tension.

Is possible the rollback that they had left?

The selection is opened, the question is the attitude. The problem is not personal, is against attitudes. The responsibility is of the players.

For the ball, some do not come back more, for the growth of that they had played. The spaces had been busy. Some more do not come back for the part technique, others for attitudes.

The passed year, I tried during some time to convince them to be. Today, I see that we lose ones three, four months of work for cause of this. Ours 7� place today is next to 1� of the one that if we had continued.

How you see the future of the selection?

We go to grow very still, with certainty. All they go to play Superliga, go to evolve. As teams, we are one of whom more has to evolve. The international scene for we is very good. We receive compliments from all the trainers. The Germans, mainly, capsize as we evolve after the Grand Prix. We have correction of paths, the teams is not closed. The Jacqueline and the K�tia will come back, go to improve.

In only three months we assemble a teams, we made a group. We play of equal for equal against the best teams of the world, this motivates me for the future. If we had finished in fifth place, would not change my evaluation in relation to the future. Proportionally, we go to improve more of the one than the other selections.

Which had been its bigger merit and its bigger error in this campaign of the World-wide one?

Bigger merit was the individual improvement of the Grand Prix for the World-wide one. First, in we worry them in assembling a teams for the Grand Prix; later, we focamos in the individual improvement.

My bigger questioning is in relation to the game against China. I am asking itself if set could not have changed some thing in the room. I charge a little on this. Psicologicamente was important to play in the front and leaves to run away.

In 1987, you it took for youthful the Brazilian selection a generation that would finish if detaching in the decade of 90, with Ana Moser, Fernanda Venturini, Ana Paula, Ana Fl�via, M�rcia Fu. With the Italian selection that finishes to conquer the world-wide heading, you also he was one of the responsible ones for the refreshing work and discovered some of the champion. Now you it is responsible for mias a work of refreshing, leading for the Brazilian selection unknown players, holds in its clubs. You it is a hunting-talentos?

Some circumstances had coincided in my career. I always worked with new players, since the time of the Botafogo, with Ana Richa and the Adriana Samuel, among others, later in the Bradesco, when we were champion Brazilians with eight youthful players, winning the Supergasbr�s in the Maracan�zinho. It was therefore that the Nuzman invited me to train the infanto-youthful selection, later the youthful one and we finish world-wide champion in 87 - later in 89, already with the Wadson Rasp.

In 91, I was for Italy, invited for the Julio Velasco, then trainer of the adult masculine of there. They wanted to make a reformularization in v�lei feminine, that she did not have high players nor good quality technique and found that the trainer had that to be Latin. We made a work that if called " piano alteza " (flat height), where we twirl the entire country to the seek of high players. We were three trainers and we arrive to be ridicularizados because we arrived in gymnasia with metric tape and scale of kitchen. But we made an full diagnosis of all the players, with three levels of evaluation. The ones that gained the code It were with potential, B would have more to be observed and C did not interest.

In one second stage, of codes and the B they were congregated in three regions of the country and from there 30 for the process of selection for the infanto-youthful one had been selected. It was that we create the infanto-youthful selection, exactly the Europe there not having championship for this modality.

In the adult selection, I changed some veterans for youthful. What it happened in Italy was that these players had delayed to appear because of the presence of many foreigners in the national championship. But the base started to be assembled in the beginning of years 90.

Here in Brazil also it was thus. That if they only forget that the feminine selection was room place in the olimp�ada one of Barcelona, and that in the masculine, also a base during some years was seted that now is if disclosing.
