Pre-match information
On the opening day, the Vietnam women's volleyball team continued to show its leading candidate position at the 33rd SEA Games when it easily defeated Myanmar after only 50 minutes. With an even force and superior experience, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's students soon took the lead, winning the overwhelming victory with scores of 25-9, 25-10 and 25-6.
Not only completing the set goals, the victory also helped the coaching staff boldly rotate the squad, giving competition opportunities to many young faces such as Anh Thao or Nhu Anh.
In the next match taking place at 12:30 today (December 11), Vietnam's opponent will be the Malaysian women's team. Similar to Myanmar, the team was not highly appreciated in the group.
With the difference in level and fitness, experts say this will continue to be an easy match for Thanh Thuy and her teammates.
However, it is likely that captain Thanh Thuy will still be kept on the bench to avoid injury and ensure her physical strength for the knockout round, where the Vietnamese team aims to go deep and defend her position in the region.
If they maintain their current form, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team can completely end the group stage with a series of all-win matches, creating favorable psychological momentum for the journey to conquer the 33rd SEA Games medal.
