Former athlete Ngoc Hoa attends SEA Games after 10 years
Currently, the Vietnam women's volleyball team has traveled to Vinh Long to prepare for the final stage before leaving for Thailand to participate in the 33rd SEA Games. It is known that coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet still remains a part of the coaching staff. Former player Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa will certainly still hold the role of assistant coach of the Vietnam women's volleyball team at this year's tournament.
Thus, after 10 years, Ngoc Hoa will return to the SEA Games arena but in a new role. In 2015, Ngoc Hoa was a mainstay of the national women's volleyball team competing at the 28th SEA Games in Singapore. That year, she and the whole team won the silver medal after losing to Thailand. After that, she retired from the national team and switched to coaching.
With her expertise and experience, disciplined working style but understanding the psychology of the players, coach Ngoc Hoa has received the trust of captain Tuan Kiet and the Vietnam Volleyball Federation.
Thanh Thuy's impressive statistics
Today (November 15), striker Tran Thi Thanh Thuy and Gunma Green Wings club found the joy of victory again after defeating Aranmare Yamagata with a score of 3-0 (33-31, 25-23, 25-19). In this match, the Vietnamese hitter continued to make her mark when she scored 13 points, including 2 blocking points, achieving an efficiency of 57.9%.
Although not the one who received the most ball, Thanh Thuy still played a good role in both defense and attack. In particular, she was the one who had a powerful attack behind the 3m line to help Gunma Green Wings win the first set - a tense set, the two teams fought each other to score 33.
Thanh Thuy's stability in performance helps her continue to gain the trust of the head coach. This is Gunma Green Wings' 5th win of the season. This result helps them still consolidate their position in the group competing for the throne in the Japanese SV.League.
Bich Thuy has not yet played
Middle blocker Tran Thi Bich Thuy has arrived in Japan to play for Okayama SeaGulls club. Today, her new team welcomed Victorina Himeji at home in the Japanese national championship.
Bich Thuy was present at the stadium with her teammates. Although he only appeared outside the stadium in a practice shirt and had not registered to compete, the image of this middle blocker still attracted great attention from the audience present at the stadium as well as fans in Vietnam.
Because she is new to Japan, it is likely that Bich Thuy still needs more time to integrate, practice, and have the best physical condition. It is expected that in the next 1-2 rounds, she can play. Therefore, Vietnamese fans are very excited to see Thanh Thuy and Bich Thuy compete in the Japanese National Volleyball Championship.
Coach Dinh Tien's birthday
Today is the 53rd birthday of coach Tran Dinh Tien. Many news sites and volleyball groups on social networks shared photos of the coach born in 1972 on the special day.
In the comments section, fans left many birthday wishes to the captain of the Vietnam men's volleyball team, and at the same time expressed hope for the team's achievements at the 33rd SEA Games.
Currently, Mr. Tien is practicing with the Vietnam men's volleyball team to prepare for the 33rd SEA Games. The whole team moved to Ho Chi Minh City after a training period in Bac Ninh.
The southern region will have similar temperatures and humidity to Thailand, which hosted the 33rd SEA Games. This helps players get used to actual competition conditions early, especially during the sprint period before the departure day.
