VTV Binh Dien Long An Club is the first team to win a ticket to the semi-finals of the Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup Volleyball Tournament 2025. Coach Thai Quang Lai and his team will certainly continue with the top spot in Group A after 2 wins against Long Son Thanh Hoa Cement (3-1) and Vietinbank (3-2).
One of the important factors contributing to this achievement of the Western team is the middle blocker Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa. She was added to the Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup 2025 as an assistant coach and athlete. Despite her 38 years old age, the former Vietnamese women's volleyball player still has excellent performances.
In the opening match, this hitter scored 11 points, including 4 blocks, achieving an efficiency of 53.8%. Experience and sophistication in playing style help Ngoc Hoa easily get points without having to spend too much effort. She and Thanh Thuy became the locomotive of VTV Binh Dien Long An, leading the team's playing style as well as stirring up the spirit of the young players.
In the second match against Vietinbank, in the face of the fiery spirit of the young players on the Banking team, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa still had 4 points, including 2 direct serve points, achieving an efficiency of 22.2%.
The influence of the former national team player is still very large. She was sent onto the field by coach Thai Quang Lai at important moments. Ngoc Hoa always completes her tasks well, especially when blocking the opponent carefully, causing many difficulties for the attackers on the opposite side.
Above all, every time Ngoc Hoa appeared on the field, the young players of VTV Binh Dien Long An seemed to be spirited, playing explosively on both the attack and defense fronts.
Ngoc Hoa and Thanh Thuy are considered the two best players of the VTV Binh Dien Long An volleyball team. Therefore, when this pair combines at the Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup 2025 and maintains high performance, coach Thai Quang Lai can completely trust in the home team's ability to achieve good results.
