LPBank Ninh Binh faces difficulties without Bich Tuyen

When there was news that Bich Tuyen could not compete in the second stage of the National Volleyball Championship, many people immediately thought of an overthrow in the women's category.

Accordingly, the LPBank Ninh Binh women's team entered the second phase of the 2025 National Volleyball Championship with a worrying loss against the Northeast Information Corps.

That was the day the "old capital" team suffered a quick 1-3 defeat, and only played well in the second set. Immediately, fans had to mention Bich Tuyen, the main hitter who helped LPBank Ninh Binh win all 5 matches in the first phase. At that time, they had "bamboo-splitting" victories against strong opponents. They easily turned championship candidates like VTV Binh Dien Long An and Hoa Chat Duc Giang Lao Cai into losers.

In addition to the national championship, LPBank Ninh Binh also won the Hoa Lu Cup and Hung Vuong Cup. Their loser in both finals of these tournaments was the Northeastern Information Corps. However, when they met again in the second phase, LPBank Ninh Binh became the victim of the overwhelming strength of the opponent. It was easy to see the big hole left by Bich Tuyen.

When on the field, the 2000-born setter is almost always the destination after the set two situations. Her strength is always in her powerful attack. But in addition, Bich Tuyen also has the ability to handle bad passing situations well to turn them into points. When there is a solid support, the remaining positions of LPBank Ninh Binh only need to fulfill their roles and victory will come.

But when Bich Tuyen was absent, the team's play was chaotic. Up until now, the setter position has always been LPBank Ninh Binh's weak point. But coach Thai Thanh Tung has always overcome this problem thanks to having a Bich Tuyen with good ball handling ability.

Against the Northeastern Signal Corps recently, no one could finish continuously when setters like Hoai Mi and Yen Nhi did not show their quality. Even the Bulgarian main striker Miroslava Paskova, despite her class, could not turn the game around against an opponent with so many top-class players.

One loss cannot mean that LPBank Ninh Binh has collapsed. After all, they have already qualified for the championship round, so sometimes their motivation is not much left. At the same time, this is only the first match without Bich Tuyen. Therefore, coach Thai Thanh Tung and his students still have time to correct their mistakes. But one thing that can be confirmed is that LPBank Ninh Binh is having difficulty finding a solution without Bich Tuyen.
