Polish media suddenly talks about the biggest 'weapon' of Vietnamese women's volleyball: The mystery...

Tonight, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team will play in the world championship against the world's third-ranked team Poland. The country's media commented that although Vietnam is rated much lower, the team's mystery could become its greatest weapon against formidable opponents.

First time participating, Vietnamese women's volleyball team brings with it unknown factors

According to the Polish volleyball website Siatka , this is the first time the Vietnamese women's team has participated in the world championship, after the number of participating teams was expanded. Because they rarely compete in tournaments outside Asia, information about Vietnam is almost very limited. This factor makes it difficult for opponents to grasp their strength, which is considered an unexpected advantage.

This page also mentioned the absence of opposing setter Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen and assessed this as a great loss for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team.

In addition to the mystery on the international level, Vietnamese women's volleyball has also made strong progress in the region and continent in recent times. The team is currently rated as number 2 in Southeast Asia, just behind Thailand, and is in the top 5 in Asia. Some key players such as Tran Thi Thanh Thuy are playing abroad, bringing a lot of experience and confidence to the whole team. It is this foundation that helps Vietnam receive expectations to continue to rise, and participating in the world championship is the clearest proof of the remarkable development of Vietnamese women's volleyball.

Poland is still considered superior in Group G.

Meanwhile, the Polish team is considered the number one candidate for the top spot in Group G, which also includes Germany and Kenya. Coach Stefano Lavarini has many stars in high form such as Magdalena Stysiak, Agnieszka Korneluk and two experienced setters Katarzyna Wenerska and Marlena Kowalewska.

Who will replace Bich Tuyen in the opposite position? Coach Tuan Kiet gives 2 options.

In the recent Nations League, Poland won the bronze medal and Korneluk played brilliantly in the 3-1 victory in the third-place match. The country's media believes that, against a first-time opponent like Vietnam, Poland will not face many difficulties if they maintain a stable playing style.

Despite being rated as superior, experts in Poland still believe that the opening matches always contain surprises due to psychological factors. A set lost to Vietnam can also be considered a shock.

The match between Poland and Vietnam will take place at 8:30 p.m. on August 23 and will be broadcast live on the paid website of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB).
