Tran Thi Thanh Thuy returned to Vietnam after ending her contract with the Kuzeyboru women's volleyball club (Turkey) in mid-November. After a period of training and competition, due to not achieving good form after an injury, Thanh Thuy had to end her competition journey in Europe earlier than expected.
Currently, the Binh Duong native is still on the payroll of VTV Binh Dien Long An. After winning the 2024 national championship, the Western team is giving the players a break and will gather and return to normal training in early December.
A representative of Binh Dien Long An Sports One Member Co., Ltd. (the management unit of VTV Binh Dien Long An women's team) said that the company's leaders had a preliminary meeting with Thanh Thuy to understand the player's thoughts and wishes when she returned home.
The captain of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team has discussed in detail and expressed her desire to continue to try her hand abroad to improve her skills. Since Thanh Thuy is currently under the management of the team, the Company and the team will find a solution that suits Thanh Thuy's wishes and thoughts.
In addition, this representative also said that Thanh Thuy is currently still in Vietnam. She has recovered from her injury and is 100% healthy. Most likely, the 1997-born player will return to compete in early 2025.
Cut your coat according to your cloth
In 2024, injuries prevented Tran Thi Thanh Thuy from performing well. However, up to now, this main striker is still the most successful overseas volleyball player of Vietnam. She has had many successful seasons with foreign clubs and has a high income.
Before joining Kuzeyboru, the Binh Duong native played for teams such as Bangkok Glass (Thailand), Attack Line V (Taiwan, China), Denso Airybees or PFU Blue Cats (Japan) and affirmed his class through many tournaments.
Recovery from injury is an important factor for Thanh Thuy to be able to play well when she continues to go abroad. It is known that right after terminating the contract with Kuzeyboru, Thanh Thuy immediately received attention from other teams from Europe. This shows that, although she does not play much for Kuzeyboru, Thanh Thuy's talent is still recognized and the female player's appeal has not decreased.
However, Thanh Thuy needs to carefully consider her next destination depending on her current ability. The recent trip to Türkiye will certainly help her gain a lot of experience and lessons. European teams always require high physical strength and expertise. Thanh Thuy in particular or players from Asia in general can be overwhelmed, have difficulty adapting to the new environment, leading to not meeting the requirements of the teams.
In addition, the European national volleyball championships have started their new seasons. It will not be until January 2025, when the teams take a mid-season break, that the transfer market will open for teams to add new players.
Currently, strong volleyball teams in Southeast Asia or Asia such as Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Korea... are still considered suitable destinations for Thanh Thuy at this time.
Thanh Thuy played very well when playing for the PFU Blue Cats club in the Japanese national championship. This mark will certainly be the premise for her to have more opportunities to try her hand at international tournaments in the future.
Born in 1997, Thanh Thuy is at the peak of her career. The opportunity to go abroad is certainly still very bright for this player. In the immediate future, Thanh Thuy needs to continue to accumulate and train both physically and professionally, consider her next direction and wait, seize the opportunity for herself.
