The surprising factor that helped the Vietnamese women's volleyball team defeat Indonesia in the Asian tournament

On May 26, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team won 3-1 against the Indonesian team in the final match of Group B, the 2024 Asian Women's Volleyball Cup (AVC Challenge Cup) held in the Philippines.

Quickly completing the goal of reaching the semi-finals with the top spot in Group B, Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet gave the opportunity to play for young players such as Nguyen Thi Tra My, Pham Thi Hien, Vi Thi Nhu Quynh when the Vietnamese women's volleyball team met the Indonesian team, which had no chance of reaching the semi-finals.

As the reigning runner-up, the Indonesian team could not bring their strongest force to this year's tournament, so they were considered weaker than the Vietnamese team, which is the reigning champion and also has a full lineup of "stars". Playing with a reserve lineup, the Vietnamese girls still created an overwhelming game. Among them, the 22-year-old talent Vi Thi Nhu Quynh had an explosive day. The hitter from Nghe An had smashes that scored points in many positions. She alone scored 26 points for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team in the 3-1 victory over the Indonesian team and was considered the surprise factor in this match.

20-year-old talent, Nguyen Thi Tra My, also left her mark when she contributed 10 points. This hitter is effective in powerful attacks on the flank. Pham Thi Hien also contributed 9 points with quick hits that created surprises and differences. Tran Tu Linh was one of the few pillars that coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet sent to the field in this match. She contributed 11 points but still did not leave the fans assured when she missed many opportunities and did not support the defense well. Meanwhile, Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen was used by coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet at some times and also proved her class with 10 points.

Tran Tu Linh has not performed as expected.

Despite defeating Indonesia, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team also needs to learn from their mistakes. Their somewhat subjective and unfocused mentality caused the Vietnamese team to be defeated by the Indonesian team in one game. Winning all four matches, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team ranked first in Group B and will face the second-placed team in Group A in the semi-finals of the AVC Challenge Cup 2024 at 5:00 p.m. on May 28. The opponent of coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team in the semi-finals is likely to be the Australian team (ranked 56th in the world ).
