Pre-match information
Under the guidance of coach Thai Thanh Tung, the reigning Vietnamese national champion LPB Ninh Binh is in Group B with NEC Red Rockets Kawasaki (Japan), Saipa (Iran) and Monolith Sky Risers (Philippines) in the 2024 Asian Volleyball Club Championship.
The ancient capital team went to Thailand with 13 players, including a series of national players as well as talented faces such as Bich Tuyen, Nguyen Thi Trinh, Le Thanh Thuy, Dinh Thi Thuy... LPB Ninh Binh's force in this tournament is similar to round I of the 2024 national championship.
Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen continues to be the most important star of the team with the captain's armband. LPB Ninh Binh's foreign player is still the young talent of Thai women's volleyball team Warisara.
LPB Ninh Binh's style of play will certainly still revolve around Bich Tuyen and the two middle blockers Le Thanh Thuy and Nguyen Thi Trinh. In addition, the main striker Dinh Thi Thuy is also ready to surprise with her wrist turns, flexibly switching from number 4 to number 1.
However, they need to pay attention and improve their setter and libero to get good results. In the opening match, Bich Tuyen and her teammates faced a highly rated opponent in this year's tournament, NEC Red Rockets (Japan).
This is the current champion of Japan's highest level volleyball tournament. In the lineup of the representative from Japan, there is a notable face, Yukiko Wada (Japan) and captain number 6 Yuka Sawada.
Wada is one of the strongest setters in Asia. She has good attacking power and is the team's main scorer, promising to be Bich Tuyen's "arch-rival".
With the strongest lineup, this match is expected to be attractive and dramatic. Most likely, the team with the better setter will have a better chance. Because when the setter is good, attackers like Bich Tuyen or Wada can fully demonstrate their strength.
