Pre-match information
The Vietnam men's volleyball team will participate in the 2025 Asian Club Championship under the name Sport Center 3. The opponent of coach Tran Dinh Tien and his team in the opening match was Al Muharraq, the team that just lost 0-3 to Al Rayyan.
Blocker Duy Tuyen said that the whole team was watching Al Rayyan's recent match. The Vietnamese players have recognized the strengths and some weaknesses of the opponent and learned from experience for the upcoming match.
" Obviously, Al Muharraq is much stronger than Sport Center 3. The opponent also hired 3 more foreign players. Therefore, in terms of both strength and form, they are still rated higher than us. However, it is not that Vietnam does not have opportunities.
The most important factor is spirit. The whole team is determined to play with all their might when entering the stadium, not giving up. Therefore, if they perform well, Sport Center 3 still has a chance to win," Duy Tuyen affirmed.
In the previous defeat, Al Muharraq showed a strong attacking style of play and solid defense. Al Rayyan's strengths are his ability to coordinate flexibly and have diverse attacking power, especially in the opposite and main attack positions.
In particular, their height will be a big challenge for coach Tran Dinh Tien's team.
With 14 players participating in the tournament including Dinh Van Duy, Nguyen Ngoc Thuan, Tran Duy Tuyen, Pham Van Hiep, Truong The Khai, Phan Cong Duc, Cao Duc Hoang, Nguyen Thanh Hai, Trinh Duy Phuc, Che Quoc Lo Viet, Nguyen Van Quoc Duy, Duong Van Tien, Quan Trong Nghia and Pham Quoc Du, coach Tran Dinh Tien will have specific options to prepare for the match against a team that is rated higher.
