Middle blocker Lê Thanh Thúy expressed her feelings following the heartfelt win in the 2025 National Volleyball Championship semifinals.
The LPB Ninh Bình women's volleyball team defeated Thông tin - Đông Bắc 3-1 on the evening of October 13, securing their spot in the finals of the 2025 National Volleyball Championship for the second consecutive year.
After the match, middle blocker Lê Thanh Thúy revealed that the whole team entered the game with a relaxed mindset, accepting their underdog status.
"Today's blockers tried their best to stop the Russian foreign player and Kiều Trinh as much as possible to boost morale and allow our attackers to perform more effectively."
According to Thanh Thúy, maintaining strong spirit and making the most of attacking opportunities were key factors that helped the home team overcome pressure against Vietnam’s most successful opponent.
Thanh Thúy’s performance in this match remained impressive, with 5 blocks scored, a crucial contribution to LPB Ninh Bình shutting down the opponent’s attacks.
This also extended her streak of consistent performance against Thông tin - Đông Bắc in 2025. Across four encounters this year, Thanh Thúy has accumulated 19 blocks, playing a major role in three victories for Ninh Bình, including the Hoa Lư Cup final, Hùng Vương Cup, and the national league group stage.
Besides her defensive skills, Thanh Thúy demonstrated offensive versatility, coordinating smoothly with the setter and outside hitters to maintain balance before breaking through at critical moments.
Ninh Bình’s blocking line, anchored by Thanh Thúy and Lưu Thị Huệ in the middle, became a stronghold that helped the home team neutralize much of the pressure from powerful attacks by Thông tin’s foreign players.
The semifinal win not only secured LPBank Ninh Bình’s place in the final but also confirmed the team’s growth after a season full of challenges.
Before the championship match, Lê Thanh Thúy affirmed: “All teams reaching the final are strong; what matters most is that we prepare ourselves thoroughly in every aspect.”
