After two days off, VTV Binh Dien Long An will enter the quarter-finals of the 2025 Asian Women's Club Volleyball Cup. The representative of Vietnam will face Kaohsiung Taipower - a team from Taiwan (China).
With VTV Binh Dien Long An, coach Thai Quang Lai and his team won a ticket to continue as the 2nd place in Group C. The Western team had 1 win and 1 loss in the group stage. Overall, Thanh Thuy and her teammates played relatively steadily.
Vietnamese girls have equality in their strength and position. Therefore, both in attack and defense, VTV Binh Dien Long An always has outstanding individuals, helping the team overcome difficulties.
Notably, VTV Binh Dien Long An owns a strong attack. Closing the group stage, Nhu Quynh, Thanh Thuy, Natalia and Ngoc Hoa are the most scored faces for the team. In particular, Nhu Quynh and Thanh Thuy reached the top 5 players to score the most points in the group stage. This will be the fulcrum for Vietnam's team in the upcoming match.
However, VTV Binh Dien Long An still needs to be very careful and improve their weaknesses. After defeating Saipa Tehran to get a ticket to the quarter-finals, captain Thanh Thuy once shared: "We had problems with the first step because the opponent serves the ball very well. In addition, the team's handling situations were still loose and passive, leading to a loss in the first set.
In the upcoming match, in my opinion, VTV Binh Dien Long An needs to have a better competitive spirit. As for tactics, the coaching staff will have specific instructions and adjustments".
Step one is always a weakness of many Vietnamese teams, including VTV Binh Dien Long An. In addition, not entering the game well at the beginning of the match also easily caused coach Thai Quang Lai's students to miss many opportunities.
On the other side, Kaohsiung Taipower is a team with a team of the same age, quality, and many years of training together, so they have a good connection.
The representative of Taiwan (China) continued with the first position in Group B. In the group stage, this team showed strength, especially in the ability to play. In the top 10 athletes, the most scoring score in the group stage has 4 names of Kaohsung Taipower. In only two group matches, Taiwan's representative (China) had 19 times the ball to eat directly (12 points before Hip Hing and 7 points before Petro Gazz), superior to the remaining teams.
In addition, Kaohsiung Taipower's defensive ability also makes it difficult for the opponent to launch an attack. Libero Min yu-wu of this team had 28 saves and was in the top defensive player after the group stage.
Possessing good serve players is a very dangerous weapon for Kaohsiung Taipower when facing a team with many first-step problems like VTV Binh Dien Long An. In addition, good blocking and defense will certainly be the problem that Thanh Thuy and her teammates need to overcome.
In general, this is a balanced match. However, VTV Binh Dien Long An is somewhat better when in the squad there are many outstanding faces to diversify the attack style. Coach Thai Quang Lai once shared that this team is cautious with all opponents.
Therefore, VTV Binh Dien Long An will certainly have careful preparation and high determination when entering the match taking place at 3:00 p.m. today (May 25).
