| Sanest Khanh Hoa often receives encouragement from management committee and supporters. |
This has been not the first time Sanest Khanh Hoa has won all games of the preliminary round. However, this time, the players of Sanest Khanh Hoa showed a remarkable improvement in the way of playing, especially in the defensive line. The improved defensive shortcomings together with the strong attacking line helped Sanest Khanh Hoa to secure convincing victories over the opponents.
Sanest Khanh Hoa had a not good start in the 2015 season and was in a low position after the first round. However, in the second round, the advantage of playing at home and the excellent performances of the outside hitters (Ngo Van Kieu, Truong Giang, Van phong) helped Sanest Khanh Hoa to get consecutives wins, earning them a ticket to the finals. Last year, the players of Sanest Khanh Hoa also qualified for the final match but they finally lost the championship to The Cong with the score of 1-3. The dependence on the form of the key players, Ngo Van Kieu and Tu Thanh Thuan, could be the reason for the failures of Sanest Khanh Hoa at that season.
In this year’s tournament, Sanest Khanh Hoa has made some changes to the tactics, which has proved to be effective. They made it five wins in a row over Trang An Ninh Binh (3-2), Xo so kien thiet Vinh Long (3-0), the Military Zone 4 (3-0) and Ha Tinh (3-0).
The young players contributed to the achievements of Sanest Khanh Hoa at the first round of the 2017 National Volleyball Championship – PV GAS. They have played more confidently and flexibly. Beside Ngo Van Kieu and Tu Thanh Thuan, another outside hitter of Sanest Khanh Hoa - Van Phong – has also been highly evaluated by the professionals at the first round thanks to his hitting skills.
With 14 points after the first round, Sanest Khanh Hoa qualifies for Hung Vuong Cup which is slated to take place in Phu Tho in April 5-8. Sanest Khanh Hoa, reigning champion of Hung Vuong Cup, have to overcome The Cong, who is the 2016 national champion, to defend their championship at Hung Vuong Cup 2017.
