VTV Binh Dien Long An needs to protect the throne
VTV Binh Dien Long An has gone through the 2024 season with many successes, including winning the national volleyball championship. Coach Thai Quang Lai's team left an impression when demonstrating the combined strength between veteran players such as Ngoc Hoa, Kim Thoa and the youth team Tra My, Phan Khanh Vy and the stability of foreign players.
By 2025, the pressure on the Western team will be even greater when they are the reigning national champions.
Coach Thai Quang Lai shared: "The teams of this year's championship are actively preparing professionally. We are very cautious and make the most of our time to practice, but above all, keep a comfortable mental state.
However, as the defending national champion, we are somewhat under no small pressure in this year's domestic tournaments. VTV Binh Dien Long An coaching staff has built a professional goal of maximum focus to achieve good results in each match in the 2 stages of the 2025 national championship".
This is a modest goal for the defending champions. Before the new season, they have added an important force, which is the return of striker Tran Thi Thanh Thuy. In the immediate future, she will join the whole team in tournaments in the early stages of the 2025 season.
With her skills and strong competitive spirit, Thanh Thuy is the perfect piece to help VTV Binh Dien Long An strive to successfully defend the throne. In addition, this team is also actively looking for foreign players to strengthen the force this year.
HCMC strives to stay in the league
Along with VTV Binh Dien Long An, the Ho Chi Minh City women's team is the remaining representative of the Southern women's volleyball tournament participating in the 2025 national championship. This team won the 2024 National A-League and has tickets to the highest playground for Vietnamese volleyball clubs this season.
As a rookie, Ho Chi Minh City also sets another goal for VTV Binh Dien Long An. Head coach Tran Hien shared: "Our team has just been promoted. In theory, before the ball starts, the teams have the opportunity to get the same good results, but we understand and be cautious with our opportunities. Each player focuses on training with the most determined spirit to achieve good results in this year's tournament".
That said, it is understood that Ho Chi Minh City will have to play their best to stay in the league. Because their squad is rated lower than that of other clubs. In the hands of Ms. Tran Hien, there will be names that have helped the Ho Chi Minh City women's team win promotion tickets such as Cam Tu, Kim Giang, Dao Thi Nhung, Thuy Huong, Huynh Nhi, Nha Phuong, Luong Quynh, Be Thu, Anh Nguyet, Thanh Mai...
One of the pillars for this team is the fact that they have experience competing in the national championship in 2023. The coaching staff and the players are somewhat aware of the fierce competition in this playground.
However, the HCMC women's team still needs to focus all their efforts, finding an outstanding factor in the squad to help the goal of staying in the league as well as achieving good results will be more promising.
