In the third match of the group stage, the U21 Vietnam women's volleyball team will face U21 Canada - an opponent that is considered a real challenge for coach Nguyen Trong Linh's team since the beginning of the tournament.
U21 Canada is not a strange name. Nearly a month ago, they faced the Vietnam national women's team at the Future Star friendly tournament held in Shanghai (China). At that time, the seniors Nhu Quynh, Kieu Trinh, Bich Thuy... won convincingly 3-0.
This result is the basis for the U21 Vietnam coaching staff to more carefully analyze the strengths and weaknesses in the playing style of the representative from the Americas, thereby coming up with a suitable tactical plan for the upcoming match.
The current form of U21 Vietnam is bringing many positive signals. Two consecutive victories against U21 Indonesia and U21 Serbia not only helped the team gain an advantage in the rankings, but also gave the players more spirit and confidence ahead of the upcoming important match.
After 2 matches, all positions on the field are operating stably. The first pass is quite good and minimizes serves. The defensive system, especially the blocker, is also effective.
However, to continue to maintain the advantage, U21 Vietnam needs to increase the variation in attack options, avoid letting opponents get cards and neutralize the playing style.
The match between U21 Vietnam and U21 Canada takes place at 1:00 p.m. today (August 9) and will be broadcast live on the official YouTube channel of the World Volleyball Federation.
