After 9 years, VTV Binh Dien Long An has again won a ticket to the final of this tournament, when defeating Hanoi Tasco Auto with a score of 3-0 (25-20, 25-19, 25-17). This is a very surprising score because the Capital team is rated more evenly than VTV Binh Dien Long An before the match.
In the final, VTV Binh Dien Long An will meet Jiangsu Club again, an opponent they lost 1-3 in the group stage. The Chinese club has superior height, is very strong when attacking on the net and has 3 people just called up to the national team. They are rated higher than coach Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa's team.
However, after what they have shown, Jiangsu is not without weaknesses. VTV Binh Dien Long An can completely rely on the persistence in blocking phases, flexible and fast attacks, as well as the excellent form of the stars to create surprises. In the group stage, VTV Binh Dien Long An also had 1 set win against Jiangsu.
If they win the championship this year, VTV Binh Dien Long An will have their 3rd championship at the VTV9 - Binh Dien Cup. Previously, they had won championships in the 2007 and 2010 seasons. Thanh Thuy and her teammates have a great opportunity to make history, thereby equaling the 3-time championship achievement of Binh Chung Thong Tin in 2011, 2013, 2014.
If she helps her home team defeat Jiangsu (China), Ngoc Hoa will become the first person to win the VTV9 - Binh Dien Cup in the position of athlete and coach. This strategist has proven his bravery, tactical adjustment ability and very good psychological control in previous matches.
Above all, fans are also waiting for Tran Thi Thanh Thuy to write her name in the history of the tournament with the VTV9 - Binh Dien Cup championship for the first time. In 2017, she and her team reached the final but lost to Bangkok Glass with a score of 1-3.
Despite doubts about her form, Tran Thi Thanh Thuy played very well at this year's tournament. She proved her class by scoring 86 points in 4 matches, averaging 21.5 points/match - the highest in the tournament. Thanh Thuy's stability and explosiveness helped VTV Binh Dien Long An overcome many difficult times to register her name in the final.
The VTV Binh Dien Long An vs Giang To match will take place at 8:00 PM on May 23 at Tay Ninh Provincial Gymnasium.
