Pre-match information
In the opening match of leg 2 of SEA V.Cup 2026, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team will face Indonesia. This will be a challenge for Vietnam as the force participating in the tournament has changed, and the opponent has also shown progress in the past time.
Regarding strength, the Vietnamese women's team added a number of players such as Dinh Thi Van, Dinh Thi Thuy, Le Thuy Linh, Pham Quynh Huong... to replace some pillars such as Vi Thi Nhu Quynh, Le Nhu Anh, Lam Oanh...
In addition, leading the team to participate in stage 2 of the SEA V.Cup is assistant Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa, replacing head coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet.
In stage 1, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team revealed many problems. First is the instability in the first step. When the first step is not good or deviates from position, setters find it difficult to proactively distribute the ball, and all tactical intentions are almost broken.
Inaccurate first passs force setters to prioritize sending the ball to the two wings instead of deploying quick attacks in the center. At that time, the opponent's block also has more time to read the situation to organize defense.
After the match against Thailand a few days ago, of course Indonesia will dissect the technical tape and have a plan to exploit the weaknesses of the Vietnamese team. Therefore, coach Ngoc Hoa and her students need to improve this.
Defense is also an issue that needs to be paid attention to in this stage. Many situations when blocking the ball have touched hands but there is no cover behind, or after saving the ball, the team has not organized a counter-attack sharp enough to convert it into points.
Indonesia is not too strong, but they can completely study to read or observe quick attacks that make the Vietnamese team unable to react in time. If they do this well, Thanh Thuy and her teammates can turn it into an opportunity to save the ball and score points.
