Not carrying the strongest squad, Vietnamese women's volleyball aims to silver stage 2 SEA V.League

After 4 days of preparation, 4 teams Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines will continue to enter the second stage of SEA V.League taking place from August 11 to August 13 in Chiang Mai Thailand. Compared to stage 1, there have been some changes in the two strongest teams, Vietnam and Thailand.

If the home team changes 3 names, then with the Vietnamese team more than half of the squad has changed, even the captain position is held by Mr. Nguyen Trong Linh instead of coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet.

Obviously, changing a lot of personnel, as well as a very short training period, is not a small challenge for any team. The right goal for the team is to defend the second place in stage 1, but it is also a challenge for Vietnam when the Philippines or Indonesia opponents have also left positive signs.

"After the last two matches, we can't say that winning is easy, Indonesia has a very good group of young athletes, the Philippines is a U23 team, but there are also good signs for them," coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet once shared in Stage 1 in Vinh Phuc.

The direct competitor of the Vietnamese team is definitely Indonesia, if the team of thousands of islands lacks only Megawati, on the contrary, Vietnam lacks Thanh Thuy as well as a series of other pillars such as Kieu Trinh, Lam Oanh, Tu Linh, Tra Giang, Nguyen Thi Trinh,...

According to the coaching staff, the Vietnamese squad that participated in the second leg of the SEA V.League SEA Games is completely capable of winning silver, but to accomplish that goal depends on many factors, from physical strength to the cohesion between the two sides. the new and old people of the team.
