Losing to Indonesia, the Vietnamese men’s volleyball team “missed” the golden dream of the SEA Games

After the historic victory against Thailand in the semi-finals, the Vietnamese men’s volleyball team confidently entered the final against the defending champion Indonesia.

Previously, in the group stage, Tu Thanh Thuan and his teammates lost 1-3 in the group stage. Therefore, meeting the opponent in this important match, the BHL and the players have tried to learn and study the opponent carefully in order to prepare in the best way.

It was thought that after the explosive match in the semi-final against Thailand, the Vietnamese team would continue to have a tug-of-war match against the opponent. However, that did not come true when Indonesia proved to be too classy and superior in all aspects.

In the first set, the two teams created a thrilling score chase when holding a 5-5 draw. However, the more they compete, the more Indonesia shows its superiority, even taking the lead by 7 points. Despite great efforts, Vietnam could only narrow the score gap before accepting defeat 22-25.

Going to set 2, the scenario is not much different. Vietnam started to get excited and gradually lost their breath in the middle of the set. The coaching staff’s efforts to adjust personnel and tactics were not enough to help the home team get better and lose 18-25.

Set 3 saw the “land of ten thousand islands” completely overwhelmed, while Vietnam showed clear signs of weakness. As a result, Quan Trong Nghia and his teammates had to helplessly watch the opponent create a large point gap and close the set with a score of 25-15.

To lose quickly after 3 sets with the score 22-25, 18-25, 15-25, the Vietnamese men’s volleyball team continued to miss the appointment with the 31st SEA Games gold medal. However, this can be considered a success. proud achievement with the current force. NHM hopes there will be a change from the Federation’s investment as well as the gameplay towards higher achievements, especially the 32nd SEA Games next year.
