After a series of 5 consecutive wins, the Vietnamese women's team suffered 2 consecutive defeats against Thailand and China. In the final match, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team continued to face the team in the top 3 strongest teams in Asia - the Japanese team.

Japan will not be fielding their strongest squad at the 2023 Asian Women's Volleyball Championship. The entire squad that participated in the Nations League will not be present as they are preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympics qualifiers in mid-September. They need to compete against strong opponents.
For the Vietnamese women's team, reaching the top 4 in this tournament is certainly the best achievement in the history of participating in the Asian Volleyball Championship. This is the first time that Vietnamese players have competed with the 3 strongest teams in the continent in the same tournament.
The defeats against Thailand and China show that the Vietnamese women's team is still far behind the top opponents in the continent. Therefore, the goal that Tran Thi Thanh Thuy and her teammates are aiming for is probably just to compete and try to show their best ability.
From the exchanges on the field between coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his players in the match against China, it can be seen that each move on the field also helps the Vietnamese women's team learn many lessons. The opportunity to compete with high-level athletes will help the Vietnamese players a lot in their journey of progress.
