Thanh Thuy is highly appreciated
Today (November 5), main striker Tran Thi Thanh Thuy and the Kuzeyboru club will participate in the 2024-2025 European Volleyball Cup (CEV Cup). After a period of not being used by coach Mehmet in the national championship, Vietnamese volleyball fans expect the 1997-born hitter to play at the continental level.
The CEV Cup homepage also highly appreciates Thanh Thuy's chance to play in Kuzeyboru's opening match. The tournament website has created a survey "Who will be the player to score the most points?" with the participation of "4T" (Tran Thi Thanh Thuy).
This is completely reasonable because the CEV Cup is a tournament with no restrictions on foreign players. Kuzeyboru's opening match against Dinamo Zagreb will take place at 11:00 p.m. on November 5 (Vietnam time).
Before this match, there was news that Thanh Thuy had ended her contract with Kuzeyboru team early due to a shoulder injury and heart disease. This caused a stir in the Vietnamese volleyball fan community.
However, these rumors have not been verified and fans are still hoping to see Thanh Thuy in tonight's match.
Foreign player quality of VietinBank team
After Katarina Pilepic was injured, VietinBank put their trust in Thai foreign player Papatchaya Phontham. Although he is a replacement, this player is highly appreciated.
Papatchaya Phontham is considered a prodigy of Thai women's volleyball. Standing at 1m76 tall with a 2m81 blocking range and 2m89 jump, the 18-year-old hitter has powerful attacking ability.
At the VTV9 - Binh Dien Cup 2024, Omsap played for Thailand U20 and was the best scorer of this youth team with 73 points. Notably, VietinBank head coach - Mr. Nguyen Tuan Kiet also had certain observations when he previously led Vietnam U20 to participate in the VTV9 - Binh Dien Cup 2024 against Thailand U20 in the final match.
Foreign players of Vinh Long men's team are trusted
The Vinh Long men's team will have the service of Alexandr Fomenko in the second phase of the 2024 national volleyball championship. The Kazakh striker is 1m90 tall, has a 3m40 blocking range and a 3m50 jump, and has played for 7 clubs in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Belarus.
Although this is the first time Alexandr Fomenko has set foot in Southeast Asia, it is known that he is a player who is not "picky" about passing, has good finishing ability and is diverse on the 2nd wing, so the coaching staff of the Western team has every reason to believe that Fomenko will be an important factor in the upcoming period.
