Captain Thanh Thuy continues to experience an unexpected trip abroad.
After leaving Kuzeyboru club (Türkiye), the 1997-born player came to Indonesia with many hopes from fans as well as himself.
Thanh Thuy played 7 matches for Petrokimia and helped the team win 2 matches. However, for various reasons, she returned home after only 1 month with the new club, although the initial contract between the two sides lasted for one season. This is also the shortest overseas trip in the career of the Binh Duong striker up to now.
There are many reasons mentioned after this sudden farewell, maybe because Thanh Thuy's physical condition is not guaranteed after the injury treatment process, or because of the professional requirements of the head coach. Anyway, her return home before the contract period has made Vietnamese volleyball fans regretful and worried.
Thanh Thuy herself will be more or less psychologically affected after two unsuccessful trips abroad. Previously, physical problems also caused the 28-year-old striker to leave his dream of playing in Europe unfinished.
In contrast to Tran Thi Thanh Thuy, middle blocker Tran Thi Bich Thuy is having beautiful days in Korea.
More than a month ago, Bich Thuy joined the GS Caltex Seoul Kixx club with many doubts from fans. Compared to the tournament in Indonesia, the Korean national championship is of a higher level and the competition is also much fiercer.
Before Bich Thuy arrived, Caltex Seoul Kixx had a disappointing 15-match losing streak. However, since the Vietnamese athlete's arrival, the team has won 3/6 of the most recent matches, including an impressive victory over Expressway - an opponent that was considered much stronger.
Head coach Lee Taik-young shared: "Bich Thuy has good height and jumping power. She gradually integrated into the team after a period of getting used to it and developed her blocking ability well.
When the blocking system works well, it will be easier for the back row defenders to defend and it will be easier for them to launch attacks."
Bich Thuy's excellent performance is good news for Duc Giang Chemicals Club and the Vietnam women's volleyball team.
According to information from Duc Giang Chemicals, this year's season, Bich Thuy is still on the list of participants in the 2025 national championship. It is expected that when the first phase of Vietnam starts, the tournament in Korea will have ended, so Bich Thuy will have enough time to return to Vietnam to participate in the tournament.
