Tran Thi Thanh Thuy was the biggest bright spot in the match between the Vietnamese and German women's volleyball teams at the World Championship, although the home team lost 0-3 to their opponents.
The main striker born in 1997 scored 17 points. According to statistics from Volleyball World, this was the highest scoring index of the match, surpassing all the stars of the German women's team.
Thanh Thuy's sharpness in attacks helped the Vietnamese team chase fiercely in the final set. However, the 28-year-old hitter could not help Vietnam create a miracle against the European team in this match.
Against an opponent 11 places higher on the world rankings, the Vietnam women's team entered the match with an excited spirit. After losing the first two sets, coach Tuan Kiet's students rose up strongly, playing fiercely with each point in the third set.
However, the difference in class prevented Vietnam from getting 3 points. The match ended with a victory for the German women's team, with the scores of 25-18, 25-17 and 25-21 respectively.
Sharing after the match, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet highly appreciated the spirit of his students: "Although Duc is a highly ranked team, we still had memorable moments in the match. This is a great opportunity for the players to learn and develop.
We still need to continue to strive and improve ourselves through each match. The whole team had a very good match, and I believe that with games like this, we will get stronger. Every match is an opportunity to learn and mature".
The captain of the Vietnamese women's team also emphasized: "Although they have not won any of the last two matches, the Vietnamese team has shown good form, especially against highly rated opponents such as Germany and Poland.
The players gave their all, created beautiful plays and pushed back all the pressure. This tournament is a valuable experience for the whole team".
After two consecutive losses, the Vietnam women's team no longer has a chance to go deep. The upcoming match against Kenya is just a formality, but Thanh Thuy and her teammates aim to win as a beautiful farewell to the world championship.
