Sasipaporn Janthawisut says she is committed to XMLS Thanh Hoa and needs more time to adapt, according to an interview reported by Tuoi Tre.
The Thai volleyball player responded to debate over her form and motivation after an inconsistent start to the national women's competition.
Improvement in an 18-point display
The source reports eight points against LPBank Ninh Binh and no points against VTV Binh Dien Long An.
She then scored 18 against Binh chung Thong tin on October 17, although Thanh Hoa still did not secure their first win of the second phase.
The article discusses coordination with the setter and the team's first reception as relevant factors.
Those are aspects of the collective performance rather than proof that one player alone determines the result.
Sasipaporn acknowledged that arriving late and adjusting to different team-mates required time.
Responding to criticism
She thanked Vietnamese and Thai supporters who had sent encouragement or attended matches.
She also rejected claims that she had come only for money and tourism, saying she intended to give her full effort to the club that had recruited her.
Those claims are presented as opinions she was answering, not established facts about her professionalism.
Sasipaporn previously played for Geleximco Thai Binh and HCDG Lao Cai, making her familiar to Vietnamese spectators.
The interview's new contribution is her account of adaptation and responsibility. Further matches will provide more practical evidence of how her partnership with Thanh Hoa develops.
