The 2024-2025 Turkish Volleyball Championship has gone through the first two rounds. Kuzeyboru Club won 3-0 against Aydin B.Sehir and lost 2-3 to Vakifbank.
Notably, main striker Tran Thi Thanh Thuy has not had a chance to play in the last 2 matches. Coach Mehmet Bedestenlioglu kept her on the bench and did not use her for a single minute. This made many Vietnamese fans regretful and worried.
Mr. Mehmet Bedestenlioglu's favorite lineup is main striker Margarita Kurilo, Ayse, opposite Anna Lazareva, middle striker Janset Cemre Erkul, Dimitrova, setter Gamze...
This is considered Kuzeyboru's best lineup at the moment. In the previous match against Vakifbank, they had overcome the opponent's star players in sets 2 and 3 to lead 2-1, but then lost due to unfortunate mistakes.
In the main attack position, two players Kurilo and Ayse are showing good form. In addition, this position also has another factor, Guldaniz - a veteran hitter. Therefore, it is very difficult for Thanh Thuy to "squeeze in" to Kuzeyboru's lineup at this time.
In addition, another factor may affect Thanh Thuy's chances. The Binh Duong striker has just recovered from an injury before going to Türkiye, so she is likely not at her best yet and needs time to regain her confidence.
In her first time abroad in Europe, Thanh Thuy will certainly face many difficulties and challenges. However, there is still plenty of time for her at Kuzeyboru club. The current problem for the 1997-born player is that she needs patience, effort and readiness to play at any time when given the opportunity.
