Filipino women's volleyball is putting great ambition for this SEA Games after only winning the 4th position at the previous congress right at home. The goal of this team is definitely improving the position as high as possible.
In addition to summoning many citizenships, hiring foreign coaches or going to foreign training, “indigenous” stars are also being placed great expectations. In addition to Santiago's sister, the No. 1 star is Alyssa Valdez.
Alyssa Valdez is the most famous Philippine female volleyball star, the pillar and hope of this team.
In the domestic league, Alyssa Valdez has won the MVP title in 4 consecutive seasons since 2016, along with a series of other titles such as “Best attack athlete”, “The brightest player in the final round”, “The most valuable player in the season” …
Although she only owns a height of over 1.7m quite modest compared to the homeowners of other teams, she possesses a high range of up to 3.10m, the ability to play mischievous and especially very good spirit.
At the upcoming 31st SEA Games in Vietnam, Alyssa Valdez is the No. 1 owner of the Philippines confronting the teams, including Vietnam and Tran Thi Thanh Thuy.
Few people know, Alyssa Valdez and the captain of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team used to be the former teammate at Attack Line Club at the Taipei Championship of China. At that time, Thanh Thuy had an official position and Alyssa Valdez was not much acting.
At the 31st SEA Games in the Philippines, Thanh Thuy and Alyssa Valdez reunited on the field, asking and taking souvenir photos together. In the near future, it is definitely a reunion full of debt between the two.
