This past Tuesday (7), the Brazilian basketball team lost to the United States 122-87 in the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games. Olivinha, Flamengo's idol and former Brazilian national team player, opened the game after the Brazilians were eliminated.
“Looking on the positive side: we were among the top eight at the Olympics. This, without sponsorship, a coach who has no salary, a fight between the confederation and the national league and little investment in the youth categories. Imagine if we get it together a little, where can we get?”, wrote Olivinha.
Olivinha believes that the fight between the Brazilian Basketball Confederation (CBB) and the National Basketball League (LNB) is hindering the selection from Brazil. This is because the two organizations are going through bureaucratic disagreements about carrying out the NBB. Thus, the lack of agreement is one of the points that keep sponsors away even from the national team.
COACH WITHOUT SALARY
The Mais Querido idol also commented that Croatian coach Aleksandar Petrović does not receives fixed salaries in the Brazilian team, which is one of the points that hinders Brazil's possible growth in the sport. However, Olivinha praised the country's final result.
BRAZIL'S CAMPAIGN
Brazil finished third in Group B of the Olympic Games, with victory against Japan and defeats against France and Germany. Thus, the Brazilian team faced the United States in the quarterfinals and lost 122 to 87, ending its participation among the eight best in the world.
