The Vietnamese women's volleyball team had a smooth opening match at the AVC Nations Cup 2025. Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team defeated Hong Kong (China) with a score of 3-0.
This is a match in which the 1976-born coach boldly experimented with personnel. All four new faces compared to the 2024 squad, Nguyen Thi Phuong, Nguyen Thi Uyen, Luu Thi Ly Ly and Bich Thuy, were on the field and left their mark.
Meanwhile, key players such as Thanh Thuy and Bich Tuyen still maintain their form, contributing both in scoring and defense.
According to coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet, in terms of attack, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team has a lot of firepower, but the first step and defense are quite worrying, many years have always encountered this.
Therefore, the coaching staff will have Experiments with young faces to find suitable positions.
The home team's opponent in the second match is Taiwan (China) - the team that also started the tournament smoothly this year. This team created an overwhelming game, without much difficulty defeating Australia with a score of 3-0 in the first match.
Evaluating the opponent, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet said: "In Group A, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team determined that Taiwan (China) was the opponent that caused the most difficulties for the whole team. Up to now, this opponent has always had a low, fast and effective playing style.
In the past 1-2 years, Vietnam has won many times against Taiwan (China) because they are transferring generations of athletes. However, they still have many potential young faces and maintain their own identity.
Like the opening match against Australia, this team played with variety and speed. The setter has just returned from a match in Japan, keeping the ball in a very good rhythm. Surely, the upcoming match will be relatively difficult and arduous for the Vietnam women's volleyball team".
The match between Vietnam - Taiwan (China) (Group A) at the AVC Nations Cup 2025 volleyball tournament will take place at 8:00 p.m. on June 8.
