The Thai women are still looking for their first win at the 2021 FIVB Volleyball Nations League after losing 3-0 to the Netherlands yesterday.
Captain Anne Buijs scored 13 points to lead the Netherlands to a 25-20, 25-9, 25-18 victory over Thailand in their first match of the second week.
In the first week, Thailand lost to Japan, South Korea and China in the 16-team event in Rimini, Italy.
The top four teams after five weeks advance to the semi-finals.
“This match was mostly about blocking. They have a really good block-defence system, they are tall and strong, and we tried our best,” said Thailand’s Pleumjit Thinkaow.
“We had three days [after the first week] to recover so we could give our bodies and muscles some rest. We feel stronger now. We play against the strongest teams in the world here, so we have to learn and gain experience.”
