Thanh Thuy's impressive parameters
In the 2024-2025 season, Tran Thi Thanh Thuy will join the Kuzeyboru club in Türkiye. While many people imagine European athletes with outstanding physiques and parameters, the surprising thing is that it is Thanh Thuy who has the best stats.
According to Volleybox, the Vietnamese team's striker is number 1 among the athletes registered by Kuzeyboru in jumping range (3m20) and blocking range (3m10). Not only that, "4T" is also the athlete with the best height (1m93) and the most titles (30 - both team and individual).
Thanh Thuy will go to Türkiye from August 1 on a 10-month contract, with a salary said to be 250,000 USD/season.
The reason why Quoc Duy did not join the national team
At the recent 2024 Open Army Cup volleyball tournament, Nguyen Van Quoc Duy was one of the impressive players and together with The Cong Tan Cang won the men's championship. With that performance, many people believe that Quoc Duy will be called up to the national men's volleyball team to participate in the 2024 SEA V.League.
However, in coach Tran Dinh Tien's summon list, there are only Tu Thanh Thuan (Sanest Khanh Hoa) and Nguyen Huynh Anh Phi (Ninh Binh). That makes fans question, especially when Thanh Thuan is 32 years old, while Quoc Duy is only 22 years old and the men's team needs to rejuvenate.
However, the reason is not because the coaching staff ignored the Tra Vinh striker. Since the beginning of this year, Quoc Duy has talked and expressed his desire not to focus on the team in 2024 because of his personal schedule. But that hasn't stopped many from commenting on social networks about the real reason behind it.
Conditions for Vietnam women's volleyball recruitment to continue
After the first two matches in the group stage of the Future Stars 2024 tournament, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team has 2 points after a 3-2 win over U21 Elite Canada and a 1-3 defeat against the Shanghai youth team.
Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's team needs a victory (3-0, 3-1) against Red Sparks (Korea) in the final match to ensure the ticket to continue.
