Quan Trong Nghia and his teammates created a small earthquake in this year's SEA V.League, when they defeated Thailand 3-1 on the evening of July 11. Before the match, not many people dared to believe in this result.
The Vietnamese men's volleyball team has been in an unusual form since the AVC Nations Cup and SEA V.League. In the 0-3 loss to the Philippines two days ago, the entire team performed poorly and made frequent mistakes.
Coach Tran Dinh Tien and his students are under a lot of pressure and have received countless criticisms.
Among them, captain Quan Trong Nghia is one of the people who received the most "brickbats".
Not being the main scorer, the athlete born in 1997 was arranged in the role of main attacker in charge of the first pass.
Normally, he is the best player in this role after the libero. But at the decisive moment, Guan Zhongyi often makes bad first steps, making mistakes and preventing the second set from being deployed.
Many fans have questioned his ability, especially when he was given the captain's armband by coach Tran Dinh Tien at the beginning of this year.
But in a day of sublimation, Quan Trong Nghia surprised the Thai team and fans.
He has very neat first steps even when facing difficult serves. Thanks to that, setters like Dinh Van Duy or Phan Cong Duc can easily pass the ball to hitters like Ngoc Thuan and Quoc Du.
But not only that, Quan Trong Nghia's scoring ability also improved surprisingly in this match. Normally, he doesn't have many attacks at the net. But this time, he was very active every time he went to the 2nd or 4th side.
Guan Zhongyi's performance was also impressive as he scored 12 points, achieving 52% efficiency.
In the previous two matches, the main striker who is playing for the HCM City Police could not show this. In the match against the Philippines, he only scored 2 points, and against Cambodia, he had no points.
A Vietnamese fan commented happily: "Today Quan Trong Nghia lost himself. What a great victory."
Besides Quan Trong Nghia, the remaining main striker Nguyen Ngoc Thuan continued to show his role in carrying the attack with 23 points, the most in this match. Opposite Pham Quoc Du, in a rare time playing a lot, also scored 13 points.
On the contrary, the Thai players had a day of underperformance. Striker Anurak Phanram was their top scorer with 16 points. Chaiwat Thungkam scored 13 points, while captain Amornthep Konhan had 13 points. Many times the Thai players could not overcome the Vietnamese defense in this match.
Quan Trong Nghia, born in 1997, is an athlete on the volleyball team of the Mobile Police Command. Thanks to his talent, he is often loaned to strong teams such as Trang An Ninh Binh Border Guard ...
Earlier this year, he continued to be loaned by Ho Chi Minh City Police Club to compete in the 2025 National Championship.
With his handsome appearance, he was nicknamed "Vietnam's hot volleyball boy" by fans.
