Coach Tuan Kiet expects

Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet shared: "Although we are leading the group, if we are aiming for the goal of winning the gold medal, the biggest challenge is still the Thai team. However, to aim for the final match, the women's team has a cross-match with the Philippines in the semi-finals.
We hope that they will focus and have good results. The women's team is in the next generation of intertwined youth teams. The squad has many players who are still at their peak but there is not much time left. The young people are starting to get into the rhythm well. Hopefully, in the next matches and tournaments, the students will get into good rhythm so that the next generation of women's volleyball can have quality steps".
Sharing about the integration of Thanh Thuy and Bich Thuy after returning from Japan, the coach born in 1976 said that Thanh Thuy is in very good form, scoring very good results in the match against Indonesia.
