VTV Binh Dien Long An pays tribute to 2 foreign soldiers
VTV Binh Dien Long An had a successful season when they won the 2024 Hung Vuong Cup and the 2024 National Volleyball Championship. Contributing significantly to the above two titles of the Western team were two foreign players Chen Peiyan and Joyce Agbolossou.
"Although their strengths and weaknesses are different, both foreign players have a spirit of dedication and a desire to win. It is these special things that have helped the foreign players quickly integrate and form important pieces in the playing style of the VTV Binh Dien Long An team.
Uniformity and solidarity are the most important factors to create a strong team. Although both teams suffered injuries close to the tournament, with a sense of responsibility and trust from the leadership and coaching staff, the foreign players were determined to play their best and achieve results in each stage," wrote the VTV Binh Dien Long An homepage.
Chen Peiyan came to Vietnam to play for VTV Binh Dien Long An in phase 1, Hung Vuong Cup and VTV9 - Binh Dien 2024 International Women's Volleyball Cup. In phase 2, she could not continue playing for the Western team because the match schedule of the Chinese national championship overlapped with phase 2 of the Vietnamese national championship.
Replacing Chen Peiyan is Joyce Agbolossou. Despite being injured, this player has left many impressions, becoming one of the dangerous attackers, contributing greatly to the national championship title of VTV Binh Dien Long An.
Vi Thi Yen Nhi celebrates her love anniversary
On her personal page, setter Vi Thi Yen Nhi posted a picture of a bouquet of flowers and a gift box with the caption "3 years of love" and mentioned her boyfriend, boxer Nguyen Duc Ngoc.
Yen Nhi once shared that the two met when they trained together at the Hanoi Sports Training and Competition Center and studied culture together. Because they are both athletes, the couple understands, sympathizes and accompanies each other. Time is not a concern for the relationship between Yen Nhi and her boyfriend.
"Ngoc and I both hope that we will be successful in our sports careers, especially I hope that I will soon return to wear the national team jersey. In the long run, I hope we will continue to accompany each other to build a family," Vi Thi Yen Nhi expressed.
Female recruitment in 2025
The 2024 National Volleyball Championship for women ended on November 17. Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet also completed his mission with Vietinbank Club in the recent tournament. Now is the time for this coach to plan professional preparation for the Vietnamese women's volleyball teams in 2025.
It is known that coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet has made a preliminary list of people with suitable expertise to plan to focus on the Vietnam women's volleyball team and the Vietnam U20 youth team next year.
It is not beyond possibility that the 4 teams with the highest rankings in the women's category of the national volleyball championship, VTV Binh Dien Long An, Duc Giang Chemicals, LPB Ninh Binh and Thanh Hoa, will contribute many personnel to the Vietnamese women's volleyball team in the near future.
However, the number of players and preparation plan will still be kept secret by coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet until 2025 because there is still a lot of time for professional preparation ahead.
