What do you see after the loss of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team to Poland?

VHO - Although losing to Poland 1-3 (25-23, 10-25, 12-25, 22-25), the performance of the Vietnamese girls received a lot of praise from experts and fans.

This defeat was not unexpected, because the European opponent had superior skills and strength, they possessed a much better physique, physical strength and experience.

The Vietnamese women's team's defense had difficulty against the opponent's attacks.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese women's team, entering the world arena for the first time, is still quite bewildered and is missing main hitter Bich Tuyen.

In set 1, the Vietnamese women's team surprised fans with their explosive play. With fast play, stable passing, and the brilliance of strikers like Thanh Thuy, Kieu Trinh, and Nhu Quynh, they created an even match before winning 25-20.

However, that joy only lasted for a short time. From the second set onwards, Poland quickly adjusted their tactics, increasing the pressure with powerful serves, forcing Vietnam's setters to make mistakes.

When the first pass is off-kilter, the quick play - which is the forte - can no longer be used.

Poland took advantage of their height advantage, continuously locking down Vietnam's flank attacks with effective blocking.

Despite the defeat, it is undeniable the bright spots that coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's students left behind.

Facing the world's top 3 opponents, the Vietnamese girls still showed confidence, especially in the first set and set 4.

The tenacious fighting spirit, ability to keep up with the score and the aggressive defense received much praise from experts.

Nhu Quynh (number 16) had a very good match against Poland.

In this match, Vi Thi Nhu Quynh was the best player of the home team. This main attacker scored the most points (20) for the Vietnamese women's team with 18 attacking points, 1 from blocking and 1 from serving.

Facing the opponent's high and focused defense, Nhu Quynh still had classy moves to bring important points for the home team.

But against Poland, the lack of stability in the first pass and limited rebounding ability made it difficult for Vietnam to maintain the game.

Besides, the loss of physical strength after the second half made the strikers no longer sharp enough to penetrate Poland's tall defense.

Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet also frankly shared after the match: "The players played their best, but to reach a higher level, we must improve our ability to withstand pressure and improve the quality of each phase of the ball."

The match against Poland can be considered a valuable lesson for the Vietnamese girls because we rarely have the chance to face such a classy team.

The Vietnamese girls have proven their ability to cause surprises, but to maintain stability and compete with the top teams, they need more tenacity, courage and especially a stronger physical foundation.

With what they showed against Poland, the Vietnamese women's team is completely confident in preparing for the next challenge, which is the German women's team (ranked 11th in the world) on August 25.
