Volleyball star Thanh Thuy shines brightly in Japan

Striker Tran Thi Thanh Thuy is the brightest star of Vietnamese women's volleyball at the moment, that is indisputable. After a long time of focusing and competing in many tournaments for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team, "4T" continues her high performance and is shining brightly for the PFU Blue Cats club in the highest tournament in Japan.

After the first two matches of the new season, "garden crane" Thanh Thuy is currently one of the two best attackers of the team nicknamed "The Blue Cats". In the opening match against Hisamitsu Springs (on October 28), the 1.93 m tall hitter contributed 15 points, second only to foreign player Santana (22 points). In the second round against Ageo Medics (on October 29), the main striker of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team was the top scorer for PFU Blue Cats with 18 goals, while Santana only scored 13 points.

Thanh Thuy is in good form while playing for a club in Japan.

However, Thanh Thuy's brilliance was not enough to help her home club win. PFU Blue Cats lost both of their first two matches of the new season, both by a score of 0-3.

Previously, at the 19th ASIAD, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team had an impressive performance when they won the right to participate in the semi-finals. Although they could not create a surprise against strong teams such as Japan (semi-finals) and Thailand (bronze medal match), this was still a very encouraging achievement for Thanh Thuy and her teammates. The Vietnamese women's volleyball team created a historical milestone, appearing in the top 4 strongest teams at the Asian Games for the first time.

After the 19th ASIAD, most of the athletes of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team returned to their clubs to continue training for the 2023 National Women's Volleyball Championship taking place in November, while Thanh Thuy competed in Japan.

However, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet will soon meet his players again. The Vietnamese women's volleyball team will also participate in the 2023 Women's Club World Championship taking place in China from December 13 to 17. Previously, Thanh Thuy and her teammates, known as Sport Center 1, won the championship at the 2023 Asian Club Championship held in Vinh Phuc in April, thus earning a ticket to the world tournament.

In December, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team will participate in the 2023 Women's Club World Championship in China.

Thanh Thuy's continuous opportunities to play and maintain her consistent scoring form in Japan is good news for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team, before participating in the world tournament. However, whether coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's team will have the service of this excellent hitter or not is still a question mark. This depends on the decision of the PFU Blue Cats Club. Before the 19th ASIAD took place, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team had determined not to have this 1.93 m tall main attacker. But at the last minute, the Vietnamese side successfully convinced the Japanese team to release him, so Thanh Thuy could participate in the Asian Games.
