To create a surprise, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team needs to pay attention to two extremely important "trump cards" of the German team: Lina Alsmeier and Camilla Weitzel.
Lina Alsmeier - Germany's main striker
Lina Alsmeier, born in 2000, Germany's main striker, is one of the key players in the team's attack. She scored 13 points in the opening match against Kenya at the World Cup in Thailand. Alsmeier is not only strong in attack but also possesses impressive blocking ability.

With experience playing in the German and now Italian national championships, Lina Alsmeier is expected to continue her high performance at the 2025 Women's Volleyball World Cup. Germany coach Giulio Bregoli has repeatedly emphasized the importance of Alsmeier in connecting attacks and maintaining the team's flexibility.

The Vietnamese women's team needs to pay attention to Alsmeier's diverse attacking ability, as she can score from both sideline shots and central attacking situations.
Camilla Weitzel - leader and steadfast shield
Camilla Weitzel, captain of the German team, also born in 2000, is a player with outstanding height (1.95 m) and rich international experience. Not only is she a strong middle blocker, Weitzel is also the captain, the bridge between the coaching staff and her teammates.
With her excellent skills in controlling the game and adjusting the game, Weitzel has performed well in major tournaments, including Serie A (Italy) – the most highly regarded women’s volleyball league in Europe. She has proven her ability to compete firmly against the strongest opponents in the world, and this will be a big challenge for the Vietnamese team.

Along with Lina Alsmeier, Weitzel will be at the heart of Germany’s attacking strategy. In particular, her excellent blocking ability will be one of the factors that Vietnam needs to pay attention to.
What should Vietnamese women's volleyball do to deal with these two "trump cards"?
To achieve a positive result against Germany, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team needs to have a tight defensive strategy, especially against powerful hitters like Lina Alsmeier and Camilla Weitzel. The blocking system and first-pass receiving must be well organized, in order to minimize Germany's attacking opportunities.
In addition, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet also needs to find ways to exploit Germany's weaknesses in defensive situations and develop flexible attacking tactics to deal with the opponent's strong lineup. Vietnam can hope for breakthroughs and a resilient fighting spirit, especially when they have shown the ability to create surprises against strong teams like Poland.

Vi Thi Nhu Quynh is the hope of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team.
Despite facing a strong opponent like Germany, Vietnamese fans still hope that our girls will continue to promote their indomitable spirit and give their all on the field. A positive result, even if it is just a winning set or a difficult match for the opponent, will be a big step forward for Vietnamese women's volleyball on the world stage. The match will take place at 5:00 p.m. this afternoon (August 25, Vietnam time).
After the victory over Kenya, the German women's volleyball team hopes to take the top spot in the group to avoid meeting Italy in the round of 16, an opponent that any team is afraid of and is considered a candidate for the championship.
