Quang Ninh recruits foreign soldiers
To prepare for the second phase of the 2024 National Volleyball Championship, the Quang Ninh women's team arrived in Lao Cai more than a month ago. To strengthen the second phase, recent rumors have said that the team has sought out foreign players with good skills.
Unlike many other teams that often recruit foreign players in the main attack or opposite set position, many sources say that Quang Ninh women's volleyball team continues to focus on increasing strength by trusting foreign setters. Gullapa Piampongsan - an experienced setter from Thailand is the name that the mining team trusts in the upcoming phase 2.
Gullapa Piampongsan was born in 1991 and has played for many years in the Thai national team. With her experience and expertise, the Thai setter is expected to bring a breath of fresh air and increase the effectiveness of the Quang Ninh women's team's attacks.
Important factor of Thai Binh women's team
In the second phase of the 2024 National Volleyball Championship, the coaching staff of the Thai Binh women's team continues to have the participation of a special character, the former long jump record holder Nguyen Van Mua. He is currently responsible for the physical fitness of the volleyball team's players, as well as the physical fitness of the coaching staff members of each line.
Coach Tran Van Giap of the Thai Binh women's volleyball team said that the presence of former track and field athlete Nguyen Van Mua is a suitable addition because when he was an athlete, Nguyen Van Mua had a lot of accumulated competition experience. Moving into the training process, this coach has made the best use of his experience in physical training.
