Reporter: How do you evaluate the results of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team in stage 1 of SEA V.League 2024 ?
- The players played very hard, going out to play with the highest spirit of determination. After many previous consecutive tournaments, the whole team has made positive changes in their fighting style. This is clearly shown in the final competition with Thailand. It was a regretful loss. But anyway, Thailand still has a higher level than Vietnam. We cannot overcome Thai volleyball on day 1 or day 2.
Step 1 is still one of the bad points of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team. In your opinion, is this the biggest reason why Vietnam did not win against Thailand in the final match?
- Throughout stage 1, the ability of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team to catch step 1 was relatively good, but at some times, lack of psychological and match experience will cause the players to catch errors. Typically, in the final match, Thailand had brave players but still avoided making a mistake in the 2 times Tra Giang kicked the ball. At the end of the match, Bich Tuyen also had weak hands when playing a lot. Therefore, Thailand made good use of experience and bravery to win.
Owner Nguyet Anh received many reviews for being a player who did not take the first step well in the final situations of the 5th set against Thailand. what is your point?
- I don't blame the players. Throughout the training process, Nguyet Anh always supported Vi Thi Nhu Quynh. Fans always want to win, but looking at the reality, when meeting brave Thai players, they have a hard time serving the ball, so not being able to take the first step well is something no one wants. The overall results and the problem lie in the competitive spirit. Players should not be evaluated or viewed based on opinions on social networks.
Owner Vi Thi Nhu Quynh made a mark in stage 1. How do you evaluate this player's progress?
- Quynh has made clear progress. Currently he is a very excellent striker but still needs to try to develop in the future. We have a focus for Nhu Quynh to practice more on defense and blocking ability 1. Vi Thi Nhu Quynh must change her posture and approach to the ball, then this player will definitely become an athlete. Key member of the national team.
What did the Vietnamese women's volleyball team learn after stage 1 of SEA V.League 2024?
- The second pass of Vietnamese women's volleyball must be upgraded. If you look at the opponents, Thailand's second pass has undisputed class. Meanwhile, the title of "Best second passer" belongs to the Philippines - the team that played for 3rd place. Proving that throughout the tournament, that player made his mark, creating a breakthrough.
This is also Vietnam's weakness. Next time, the coaching staff will try to fix the problem for the players.
How did you use the second pass of Kim Thoa and Lam Oanh?
- Kim Thoa is a bit short so she can only support the bridges where Lam Oanh gets off. And Lam Oanh has an advantage in height. Each person will complement each other a little, so it depends on each stage and time to include them.
What is Vietnam's goal in the second leg of SEA V.League 2024?
- The Thai team will definitely still be the biggest opponent. They will be more wary of us after the match in stage 1, but the class and bravery of this team is still higher than that of Vietnam. Thailand is the host, so they will cause us their own pressures. Regarding goals, we determine that Thailand is still ranked above us.
But with what Vietnamese players have shown, it can be affirmed that the gap between Vietnamese volleyball and Thai volleyball is getting closer. Hopefully, at SEA Games 33 next year, if there is enough force, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team will play fair with Thailand right on Thai soil.
Who do you choose to replace owner Tran Thi Thanh Thuy?
- That is young player Nguyen Thi Tra My. My is playing in the passer position, but we have an excellent passer, Bich Tuyen, so Tra My must make great efforts and progress to be able to continue playing for the national team in the near future. .
Currently, Vietnam's position is facing fierce competition. Bich Tuyen is currently number 1 while Kieu Trinh is not playing at a high level due to not having recovered from her injury.
Tra My is still young so she still needs time to train. That is a player with potential to exploit.
