With a height of only 1m59, weight of 51kg, and well-trained, Thai Thi Thao's advantage is her fierce playing style, not afraid of collisions, the ability to rush forward and launch long shots from outside the penalty area, as well as possessing good basic techniques. In addition, this female midfielder can also execute direct free kicks very well outside the 16m50 box.
