TEAM CAPTAIN<br />
Murilo Endres<br />
Murilo is an elder statesman of the Brazil team, having<br />
competed in 11 editions of the World League. Poland 2014<br />
will be his third World Championship appearance.<br />
He has been a mainstay in the Brazil team that has won so<br />
much since he made his debut in 2004. He won the World<br />
Championship title with the national team in 2006 and<br />
2010, and was named Most Valuable Player four years ago.<br />
He also was in the teams that won six World League titles<br />
between 2004 and 2010, being named Most Valuable<br />
Player in the 2010 edition, and a silver medal at both<br />
the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games. He was named Most<br />
Valuable Player in 2012. Most recently, he was in the Brazil<br />
team that claimed silver at the 2014 World League, after<br />
returning from surgery on his right shoulder in late 2013.<br />
He is part of a family that has brought great volleyball<br />
success to Brazil. His wife, Jaqueline Carvalho, was part<br />
of the national women’s team that won gold at the 2008<br />
and 2012 Olympic Games, and his brother Gustavo played<br />
alongside him at the 2008 Olympic Games.<br />

Champions Cup in Japan, where he was named Best Setter.<br />
History repeated itself at the 2013 Grand Champions Cup in<br />
Japan, where Brazil again triumphed and Bruno was again<br />
named Best Setter. He won a silver medal at the 2008<br />
Olympic Games in Beijing and repeated the feat four years<br />
