Vietnam is the only team to face all four top Asian countries at the AVC Volleyball Championship
If it is a fun comparison, it can be said that Vietnam is the blackest team at this Asian Championship, Thanh Thuy and her teammates are the only team that has to face all 4 top Asian countries. are China, Thailand, Korea and tomorrow Japan.
While other teams only have to meet a maximum of 2 opponents in the top 4 in Asia, Vietnam has to meet all 4, namely Korea in the first group stage, Thailand in the second group stage, China in the second group stage. Semi-finals and Japan in the 3rd place match.
This statistic shows that Vietnam's journey at the AVC Championship is not easy, not to mention we also have to meet Chinese Taipei, an opponent that is not easy to play in recent tournaments.
Vietnam lost to China and Thailand, but the 3-2 victory over Korea is still the basis for fans to put their trust in the team in the match against Japan tomorrow. There is no longer a huge difference in body shape, hopefully Thanh Thuy and her teammates will bring signs of improvement in the final match at the Asian Championship.
Of course, in order to have more progress in level, meeting big teams is inevitable, for the Vietnamese team, confronting all four of Asia's biggest teams is also a great opportunity. It's better for us to accumulate more experience.
