Accordingly, the opponent of the Vietnamese women's team in the quarterfinals of the VTV Cup is the Henan club (China). This team won second place in Group B with 6 points after 2 wins and 1 loss.
Basically, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team has regained its spirit of excitement in the last two matches. In addition, athletes also ensure maximum physical strength when on the field.
Besides, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet also has a reasonable arrangement of forces to reduce the load on his students. In the match against Paint Masters (August 27), he let pillars like Bich Tuyen, Tu Linh, Nguyen Trinh rest, and instead used Tra My, Kieu Trinh, Nhu Quynh, and Nguyet Anh more. This is also considered a squad test with young elements before entering the quarter-finals.
Compared to the first match, the Vietnamese women's team has improved significantly in terms of expertise. The players perform step 1 well, thereby developing diverse attacks from the 2nd edge, 4th edge or hitting quickly on the net. Back row attack situations also bring certain effectiveness.
However, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team's kick-off stage still has errors, especially at decisive moments. Therefore, players need to be more careful to avoid unfortunate loss of points.

Among them, Cai Xiaoqing is a familiar face as she once played for Long Son Thanh Hoa Cement Club in phase 1 of the 2024 national volleyball championship. This owner played impressively to help the Thanh Hoa team fly. high and defeated many "forces" such as the Ninh Binh LPB, the Information Corps...
Therefore, Cai Xiaoqing's understanding will help Henan (China) have more options to overcome the strength of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team. She is considered the most dangerous attack on the opponent's side.
In the Vietnamese women's team, the players who had the opportunity to face Cai Xiaoqing include Vi Nhu Quynh, Tu Linh, Kim Thoa, Tra My, Khanh Dang (win), Lam Oanh, Nguyet Anh, Bich Tuyen, Le Thanh Thuy or Nguyen Trinh (lost).
Therefore, the home team needs to be very careful and follow the coaching staff's tactics to bring about the best results, thereby winning tickets to participate in the semi-finals.
