According to the schedule, in the final match in the VTV Cup 2024 group stage , the Vietnamese women's volleyball team will face the Paint Masters club at 7:00 p.m. today (August 27).
In Group A, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team are ranked 3rd with 2 points. Meanwhile, Expresway (South Korea) and Kuanysh (Kazakhstan) ranked first and second in the table with 7 points and 6 points, respectively.
Therefore, this group has almost ended when the Vietnamese women's team could not rise to one of the top two positions. Bich Tuyen and his teammates need a victory in the final match to secure 3rd place in the final match, before the group stage matches end.
If ranked 3rd in Group A, based on the competition format, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team will face the second team in Group B, Henan (China) or Aranmare (Japan) in the VTV Cup quarterfinals. These two teams have the same 3 points and will also decide the winner or loser in the final match (which takes place at 2:00 p.m.).
As for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team, the players have regained their excitement and reduced pressure after a dramatic 3-2 victory over Expressway (Korea).
Tu Linh, Khanh Dang or Nhu Quynh have somewhat improved step 1. The home team's attacks are also more diverse from the 4th and 2nd positions. Among them, Bich Tuyen maximizes his ability. his ability to score points with quality smashes. In addition, assistant Nguyen Trinh also performed well with subtle drops.
However, if they want to get favorable results in the final match of the group stage, the players need to maintain their spirit and follow the coaching staff's tactics. Besides, the shots need to be more certain.
Bich Tuyen is doing her job well, but situations where hitting the ball from behind the 3m line needs to be more effective. Tu Linh almost switched back to playing defense, but when she has the ball to attack, the 1997-born female owner also needs strength to score better.
On the other side, the Paint Masters club has not had any points after the first two matches. They lost to Expressway and Kuanysh with the same score of 0-3. Therefore, the Philippine representative is determined to win 3 points against Vietnam to rise to 3rd place overall.
Currently, in the Paint Masters squad there are 5 national players and also the core of this club, typically Solomon Alyssa Jae.
Although not highly rated compared to many other teams at VTV Cup 2024, this is still an opponent that the Vietnamese host needs to be very careful with.
