TPO - Tran Thi Thanh Thuy only scored 6 points when VTV Binh Dien Long An lost to PFU Blue Cats (Japan) in the opening match of the VTV9 Binh Dien 2024 International Women's Volleyball Tournament.

As the home team and highly rated in the tournament, VTV Binh Dien Long An confidently looks forward to the opening match against BFU Blue Cats (Japan).

Returning to the domestic arena after nearly 2 years of competing abroad, Tran Thi Thanh Thuy has not yet achieved her best form due to recovering from an injury.

In set 1, VTV Binh Dien Long An won with a score of 25-22.

However, VTV Binh Dien Long An let their opponent take the lead in the next two games, 11-25 and 15-25 respectively.

Statistics show that in this match, opposite Chen Peiyan was the home team's top scorer with 21 points, Thanh Thuy only scored 6 points, even less than Lu Thi Phuong. Not having time to integrate with the team and not being in good physical shape are the main reasons why Thanh Thuy did not have a satisfactory match.

Coach Thai Quang Lai let Thanh Thuy rest from the end of game 1, then used this player in rotation in the remaining 3 games but still did not bring the desired results.

PFU Blue Cats have an average height of over 1.72m, nearly 4cm shorter than the home team. However, the Japanese team has varied attacking combinations and powerful smashes.

The team from Japan ended the day successfully with a 25-17 victory in set 4.

With this loss, VTV Binh Dien Long An must win the remaining two matches against HCĐG Lao Cai and U20 Vietnam to compete for one of the two tickets of group A to the semi-finals.
