The 10-point performance of the Southern representative showed the ability and progress of the young players they trained themselves.
Nguyen Lan Vy - the main attacker who replaced the position of senior Thanh Thuy, played well and brought satisfaction to the fans. The striker born in 2006 scores points with comprehensive offensive and defensive abilities, good jumping, diverse attacks, and decisive ball handling.
Faced with powerful shots from Dinh Thuy or Luu Hue, Lan Vy chose a good position and quick reflexes to save the ball, before directly hitting the ball to score points for the home team with quick smashes on the net.
Lan Vy's highlight is her smart football thinking, quick observation, and neat handling of situations to score points. In addition, she also has the ability to block the first step and serve the ball well, with many direct shots scoring points.
In addition to Lan Vy, Nhu Anh, Bach Hop and Khanh Vy also brought many scores to VTV Binh Dien Long An.
Assistant Le Nhu Anh is considered an important link in the team of the Western team. Nhu Anh's delicate drops or smashing the ball behind the 3m line always makes opponents wobble. Besides, Khanh Vy also performed her role well with effective side attacks.
