Pre-Match Information
The Vietnamese women's volleyball team will face off against the Philippine women's volleyball team in the second leg of the Southeast Asia - SEA V.League 2024, taking place at 15h00 today (10.8).
Previously, the team led by coach Nguyễn Tuấn Kiệt had a smooth start with a 3-1 victory over Indonesia. However, it is fair to say that the Vietnamese women's team had a difficult time beating their opponents compared to the first leg.
In the first set, Bích Tuyền and her teammates easily won with a score of 25-15. However, in the second set, Indonesia quickly tied the game when the Vietnamese women's team struggled, making mistakes and losing points.
In the meantime, in sets 3 and 4, the Vietnamese women's team always fell into a situation where they were being chased by their opponents before winning with a dramatic score.
It is easy to see that, at many times, the coordination on the field was lacking, especially in the attacking passes. When they were behind, the players had psychological problems, leading to a somewhat awkward handling of situations.
Therefore, before entering the second match against the Philippines, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team needs to improve their mental state and focus to the maximum. This is also something that coach Nguyễn Tuấn Kiệt often reminds his players before each match.
The challenge for the Vietnamese women's team will be more difficult when facing the Philippines in the second match. They had a successful first leg, when they first in history surpassed Indonesia to finish third overall.
Compared to the FIVB Challenger Cup 2024 over a month ago, the Philippine team has undergone positive changes in terms of personnel and expertise.
Under the leadership of coach Jorge Edson De Brito, the Philippines has become a difficult team to play against, with a logical strategy and attacking power on both wings. They possess quality hitters like Cherry Ann, Mereophe, Janine Shirley, and Palomata Dell...
In the first leg, the Philippines created many challenges for the Vietnamese women's team. They played fiercely before winning the second set, before ending the match with a 1-3 loss.
However, this is also a warning for the team led by coach Nguyễn Tuấn Kiệt heading into the second leg, when the opponent can create another surprise.
