Vietinbank Women's Club has closed the first phase of the 2025 National Volleyball Championship with 4th place and a ticket to the 2025 Hung Vuong Cup. Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's students have 3 wins and 2 losses.
In addition to attackers like Dang Thi Hong and Vi Thi Nhu Quynh, a face that played outstandingly, contributing greatly to the above achievements of the Banking team is setter Ton Thi Minh Thu.
The female player born in 2003 is a setter to replace her senior Nguyen Thu Hoai - who has temporarily stopped playing to focus on her family. Not only getting attention for her pure beauty, always smiling on the field, Minh Thu also showed progress day by day.
She moved smoothly, passing the ball in the right rhythm and at the right range of her teammates. It was Minh Thu's passes that helped Vietinbank's strikers score quite easily.
Although still very young, the flexibility and agility of this female player is highly appreciated by experts. In particular, Minh Thu is one of the models who care about passing and has clearly improved the quality of her passing through each match.
Talking to Lao Dong, Ton Thi Minh Thu expressed: "I have not been at Vietinbank for long. During that time, I had many exchanges with everyone so there was no difficulty coordinating on the field.
When entering phase 1, I and the whole team were prepared with a high determination. Coach Kiet always encourages and motivates us to practice. Therefore, Vietinbank has prepared the best for the tournament, taking the field with all its efforts".
One of the factors that helped Minh Thu played out in the last tournament was thanks to the guidance of Chief Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet. Mr. Kiet is also the captain of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team. The military leader born in 1982 was a two -year -old pass. Later, when he moved to the training, he was also evaluated quite cool when training players to play in the second pass position.
"3 years ago, Minh Thu worked with me when playing in the Quang Ninh women's team. Therefore, I was not surprised at the ability of this player. Minh Thu has the potential of a second pass.
Thu's height is not too good, but in return, she is enthusiastic and fearful on the field, and has little mental state. However, Thu still needs to try in the coming time because her setter skills are still lacking", coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet shared with Lao Dong.
At the end of phase 1, the Vietinbank women's team has moved to Phu Tho to prepare for the Hung Vuong Cup 2025, which will kick off on January 3. With her performance in the first phase, Ton Thi Minh Thu is a player who receives a lot of expectations, promising to play explosively with Vietinbank in the upcoming tournament.
