Pre-match information
The final match of the 2024 National Volleyball Championship - women's event is a match between VTV Binh Dien Long An club and Duc Giang Lao Cai Chemicals.
This is the 5th time Duc Giang Chemicals has participated in the finals. The previous 4 times, they all fell to different opponents. Therefore, Tu Linh and her teammates are determined to defeat their opponents to win the championship this season.
In fact, Duc Giang Chemicals did not perform well in the first phase of the national championship as well as the Asian arena last September. However, in the second phase, this team changed positively and became a strong candidate.
They won all matches in the second stage against the opponents of the Information Corps, LPB Ninh Binh, Hanoi and Vietinbank.
Under the guidance of coach Pham Van Long, Duc Giang Chemicals' playing style has become more cohesive and effective in both defense and attack.
Domestic players such as Tu Linh, Bich Thuy, Ly Thi Luyen... are still the bright spots in the squad, showing more progress than they did 2 months ago. Notably, foreign player Chepchumba plays flexibly in both defense and attack, with graceful moves such as dropping the ball, loose-handed hitting, and effective ball correction.
Duc Giang Chemicals will be a huge challenge for VTV Binh Dien Long An in the upcoming final match. It must be admitted that the Southern representative always has a special attraction in the domestic arena with a squad of quality "homegrown" players.
In the second phase of this year, VTV Binh Dien Long An welcomed the return of middle blocker Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa. At the age of 37, Ngoc Hoa was sent onto the field by coach Thai Quang Lai at crucial times, when her physical strength was no longer as good as when she was at her peak.
However, the veteran player still promoted his ability, experience, and courage and led his juniors to defeat formidable opponents such as the Information Corps, LPB Ninh Binh...
Alongside Ngoc Hoa are young potential players such as Tra My, Nhu Anh, Khanh Vy and Lan Vy sharing the responsibility of scoring. In addition, foreign player Joyce Agbolosso is also performing very well for VTV Binh Dien Long An. It can be seen that coach Thai Quang Lai currently has a squad with a combination of youth and experience.
